• Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the 'Rust' shooting, faces up to 18 months in prison.
• The GoFundMe, initiated by her father, violated rules by seeking funds for legal defenses involving violent crimes.
• Gutierrez-Reed's sentencing is scheduled for April 15; her defense argues she was scapegoated amid safety failures on set.
• Supporters, including notable figures, have advocated for leniency, emphasizing her emotional and psychological distress.
