During sentencing, Judge Sommer placed the bulk of the blame on Gutierrez-Reed, saying, “You were the armorer, 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,” the judge added.
