A movie armourer has asked a judge to dismiss her involuntary manslaughter conviction or convene a new trial over the shooting death of a cinematographer by actor Alec Baldwin, alleging the suppression of evidence and misconduct by the prosecution.

In a court filing, defence counsel for armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed argued her case should be reconsidered because prosecutors failed to share evidence that might have been exculpatory.
