Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer on the set of the movie "Rust," is facing serious legal troubles related to the accidental shooting that resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Gutierrez-Reed has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence in connection to the tragic incident that occurred in October 2021. Prosecutors have alleged that Gutierrez-Reed failed to follow proper firearm safety protocols on set, leading to the use of live ammunition instead of dummy rounds during a rehearsal.

Additionally, she has been accused of tampering with evidence by allegedly passing drugs to someone else to prevent her own apprehension, prosecution, or conviction. Despite attempts by her lawyer to dismiss the case, Gutierrez-Reed pleaded not guilty to the charges and is set to stand trial starting on December 6. The trial is expected to last more than a week and will take place at First Judicial District Court in Santa Fe. Gutierrez-Reed is currently out on personal recognizance but must adhere to certain rules, including drug testing twice per month.

The case has garnered significant attention due to its implications for safety on film sets and the responsibilities of crew members, especially those handling weapons. The legal proceedings surrounding this case continue as Gutierrez-Reed faces serious allegations related to her role as the armorer on the "Rust" set.

In this episode of It's Giving Sus... we uncover the mysteries surrounding the Raelian Movement. We start by exploring the life of Claude Vorilhon, a former French journalist who claimed to have been contacted by extraterrestrial beings in the 1970s. Renaming himself "Rael," he founded the Raelian Movement, promoting a belief system that centers around the idea that humans are the creation of alien scientists called the "Elohim." We examine the intricate details of the movement's foundational text, "The Message from the Designers," which forms the core of their ideology. Throughout the episode, we examine Raelians' fascinating principles and practices. From their advocacy for science and technology to their strong stance on sexual freedom and cloning, we dissect their unique perspective on spirituality, human potential, and the future of humanity. We explore the movement's aims of building an embassy to welcome extraterrestrial beings and discuss their vision of creating an "Intelligent Design" society. However, we also acknowledge the controversies surrounding the Raelians. We discuss the criticism and skepticism they face, the accusations of being a cult, and the controversies surrounding their claimed achievements, such as human cloning. Watch now to help us navigate these controversies.

Courtney Clenney, a former OnlyFans model, was charged with the murder of her boyfriend, Christian "Toby" Obumseli, in 2022. She is accused of fatally stabbing him in their Miami condo. Clenney's defense claims that she acted in self-defense, alleging that Obumseli had attacked and choked her, and that she was a victim of domestic abuse. The prosecution, however, accuses Clenney of being the abuser. She was denied bail and remained jailed in Hawaii on a count of second-degree murder with a deadly weapon, pending extradition. Her first court hearing in Miami was scheduled for September 12, 2022.

The case has been described as polarizing, with both parties presenting conflicting accounts of the events leading to Obumseli's death. Clenney's parents were also arrested over allegations of evidence tampering in the case. The legal proceedings and public statements from both sides have contributed to the controversial nature of the case. As of the latest update on January 31, 2024, the legal proceedings for Courtney Clenney's case are still ongoing. The defense team has asserted that Clenney acted in self-defense, claiming that she was a victim of abuse.

However, the prosecution has countered these claims, arguing that the evidence portrays Clenney as the aggressor in the relationship. The legal proceedings have also delved into the admissibility of numerous audio and video recordings, with the defense attempting to suppress these recordings from being used in the trial. The timeline for the verdict and potential release date remains uncertain. As the case unfolds, the court is meticulously examining the evidence and statements from both sides. In a new turn of events, the Clenney parents have now been arrested in Texas and extradited to Florida. Courtney's parents removed the victim, Christian Obumseli, laptop from the murder scene; a Miami penthouse.

Since Courtney was not immediately arrested, many parts of this investigation are questionable. The Clenney's claim that the current charges are a witch hunt and some sort of agenda to make their live miserable.

Thank you for listening!
