The woman convicted in the death of ‘Rust’ cinematographer Halyna Hutchins is asking for a new trial after actor Alec Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter case was dismissed last week. Hannah Gutierrez Reed, who was the armorer on the set responsible for the safety of firearms, filed an expedited motion on Tuesday with the request, Fox News reported. She is currently serving an 18-month sentence for her role in Hutchins’ death. Gutierrez Reed’s attorneys noted that “Baldwin’s trial exposes extreme misconduct,” adding that “Special Prosecutor Kari Morrissey lies to this court under oath.” Last week, on the third day of Baldwin’s trial in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the charge against him, ruling that prosecutors hid evidence from the defense. Sommer made the ruling after Baldwin’s defense attorney, Luke Nikas, said prosecutors had withheld bullets that had been turned over to investigators. Sommer ruled that the prosecution was “highly culpable for its failure to provide discovery to the defendant,” thus warranting the case to be dismissed with prejudice, meaning prosecutors can’t regroup and try Baldwin again. “The late discovery of this evidence has impacted the fundamental fairness of the proceedings,” Sommer ruled. “There is no way for the court to right this wrong. The sanction of dismissal is the only warranted remedy.” Reed was responsible for ensuring the safety of the gun Baldwin was using in the film. On October 21, 2021, Baldwin began filming a scene when the gun he was holding fired a live round that killed Hutchins and injured the film’s director, Joel Souza. An assistant director reportedly yelled “cold gun” as he handed a prop weapon to Alec Baldwin. Court documents showed that assistant director David Halls yelled “cold gun” to indicate that the prop weapon did not contain live rounds. Halls handed Baldwin one of three prop guns that had been set up by an armorer, unaware that the prop gun contained a live round, according to an affidavit for a search warrant, ABC News reported in 2021. Baldwin was an executive producer on the film, which is why he was charged with involuntary manslaughter. He faced up to 18 months in prison if he had been convicted. “Rust” was canceled after the incident, and it is unclear when or if Baldwin will return to movies or television.

Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis called President Joe Biden a “Weekend At Bernie’s” president Tuesday evening during his speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. “Let’s send Joe Biden back to his basement and let’s send Donald Trump back to the White House,” DeSantis said to enthusiastic applause. “America cannot afford four more years of a ‘Weekend At Bernie’s’ presidency,” the governor said, referencing the 1989 comedy in which two insurance employees prop up their dead boss. DeSantis said he is “alarmed that the current president of the United States lacks the capability to discharge the duties of his office.” “Our enemies do not confine their designs to between 10 am and 4 pm,” DeSantis continued. “But … let’s be honest here. Biden is just a figurehead. He’s a tool for imposing a leftist agenda on the American people.” DeSantis criticized many of the Biden administration’s policies, including its push for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), which DeSantis said really stands for “division, exclusion, and indoctrination, and it is wrong.” “They support open borders, allowing millions and millions of illegal aliens to pour into our country and to burden our communities,” DeSantis said. “But just don’t send any to Martha’s Vineyard. Then they get really upset,” the governor added, referencing his famous move to fly about 50 illegal migrants to the wealthy island, causing an uproar among residents. DeSantis also praised former President Donald Trump after campaigning against him in the primary. DeSantis ultimately dropped out of the race in January. Both DeSantis and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, who lingered in the primary race until March, offered endorsements of Trump, who officially clinched the Republican nomination at the convention. “Life was more affordable when Donald Trump was president, our border was safer under the Trump administration, and our country was respected when Donald Trump was our commander-in-chief,” DeSantis said. DeSantis spoke on the second day of the convention, which started just two days after Trump survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in western Pennsylvania, where a gunman grazed the former president’s right ear with a bullet. One rallygoer was killed, and two others were injured in the shooting. “Now Donald Trump stands in their way, and he stands up for America. Donald Trump has been demonized, he’s been sued, he’s been prosecuted, and he nearly lost his life. We cannot let him down, and we cannot let America down,” DeSantis said.

Thanks to the help of a consumer, the FDA has been made aware of a contaminated batch of nuts that were being sold in stores. DSD Merchandisers LLC, a company in California, voluntarily recalled the product once they were made aware of the problem. But what was the problem? In summary, one of their mixed nut products did not state that peanuts are included. As a result, those who have an allergy to peanuts could have a negative reaction which, at times, can be life-threatening. As a result, this recall has been classified as a Class I risk, the highest level possible. There is a single product under this recall, and it’s under the name Deluxe Roasted Salted Mixed Nuts. To identify the product, you’ll find that it has an item number of 99651 and a UPC of 6-51433-99651-6. Finally, the sell-by-date will read October 9, 2024. Usman Yousaf / Unsplash This mistake was discovered by a consumer who, while eating the product, took notice of the peanuts it contained. For those who are wondering how this could have happened, the FDA offers an explanation. They say their investigation “indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company’s formulation change processes and packaging label change process.” An FDA Class I Nut Recall Affects Those Who Have a Peanut Allergy Anyone with a peanut allergy is urged to make sure this product is not in their homes. And, if the product has been consumed, it’s important to watch out for potentially life-threatening reactions. This can include throat swelling, difficulty breathing, and a loss of consciousness.
