Gutierrez-Reed was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Sentencing, Santa Fe judge Mary Sommer said: “I find that what you did constitutes a serious violent offence, it was committed in a physically violent manner.
"A fatal gunshot done with your recklessness in the face of knowledge that your acts were reasonably likely to result in serious harm.

“You were the armourer, the one that stood between a safe weapon and a weapon that could kill someone.
"[...] You alone turned a safe weapon into a lethal weapon. But for you, Ms. Hutchins would be alive, a husband would have his partner, and a little boy would have his mother."
