Lax gun safety like she's alleged to have demonstrated while working on The Old Way?

That's just the most eyebrow-raising behavior. She was also apparently just a general disaster as an armorer.
It was fucking stupid to hire a part-time armorer for a Western, but there's no reason to believe Gutierrez-Reed was a paragon of gun safety. Armorer on two sets with gun safety issues is pretty damning.
Whether the involuntary manslaughter charges are appropriate or not is a matter for the court to decide. Either way, her career in Hollywood should probably be over.
