Hannah Gutierrez-Reed watches on in disbelief. Defense attorney Jason Bowles briefly puts his head in his hands. Kari Morrissey sits with her head resting on her hand, fingers on her temple. The judge thanks the jury and allows them to leave.

The state requests that Hannah Gutierrez-Reed be taken into custody. Defense requests that she be released pending sentencing. Hannah Gutierrez-Reed is keeping her head up and eyes on the judge.
The judge decides to remand her since she has been convicted. Deputies will take her into custody.
It appears Hannah-Gutierrez Reed’s family, maybe mother, is silently sobbing. Someone rubs her back in comfort.
HGR is escorted by two deputies who take her into the back. Before she goes, she blows a kiss to her family and tells them she loves them.
After, the family member screams out loud as she walks out of the courtroom: “Stacked from the very get-go! It’s a bunch of fucking bullshit!”
Gutierrez-Reed faces up to three years in state prison and will be sentenced at a later date.
