Besar Nimani, a former boxing champion with only one loss in his career, was shot to death outside a restaurant in Germany.
Nimani was leaving the establishment in Bielefeld Saturday night around 6 PM, according to a report, when 10 shots were fired ... at least some striking Nimani, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
"One or more perpetrators approached and shot the victim," police said in a statement, adding, Nimani "died at the scene due to the great wounds he received."
Authorities are currently investigating -- a "major police operation" -- as they hunt for the person (or people) behind the shooting.
Cops have not commented on motive or the identity of any suspect(s).
Besar, an Albanian who was born in Kosovo in 1985, fled to Germany in the late '90s as the Kosovo War raged in the Southeastern European country.
And, the boxer eventually made his mark in his new country ... becoming a successful pro pugilist. In fact, Besar was 26-1 with 22 knockouts ... and once held the IBF European Super Welterweight title. Nimani retired in 2019 after winning his last fight by TKO.
Nimani's brother, Berati, paid tribute to his late sibling on social media ... "My brother Besar Nimani was killed today in an ambush in Bielefeld, Germany."
He added ... "May God join us in heaven with him. I will forever be proud of you, I love you."

Príncipe Harry y Meghan Markle Hacen una visita sorpresa a familia de Uvalde
El Príncipe Harry y Meghan Markle están teniendo un momento íntimo en el corazón de Texas, tras hacer una parada no anunciada a la familia de Irma García, la maestra que fue asesinada durante el tiroteo en la escuela de Uvalde.
Los Sussexes se dirigieron a Uvalde el sábado para pasar un tiempo con la familia de Irma. Se recordarán que la historia de Irma fue aún más trágica, pues su marido Joe murió 2 días después del tiroteo de un ataque al corazón.
Los García estaban encantados con la visita sorpresa. Su sobrino John Martínez escribió en X: "¡Meghan Markle y el príncipe Harry vinieron a mi casa! Son una pareja tan hermosa y soy tan afortunado, ¡qué bueno que vinieron a ver cómo está la familia!".
Martínez también habló de lo cariñoso y solidario que fueron Harry y Meghan con sus primos y compartió un clip de la pareja cantando "feliz cumpleaños" a su mamá.
Como se puede ver, Harry y Meghan también posaron para unas fotos y conversaron con los García, convirtiéndose prácticamente en parte de la familia por un día.
Meghan conectó por primera vez con los García unos días después del trágico tiroteo en 2022, mientras estuvo en Uvalde para honrar a los profesores y estudiantes asesinados.
Meghan fue fotografiada afuera del Uvalde County Courthouse en su momento, dejando un ramo de rosas blancas en un improvisado monumento.
Semanas más tarde, se puso en contacto con la hermana de Irma para saber cómo estaba la familia, especialmente los 4 niños que perdieron a su madre y a su padre en circunstancias desgarradoras.
Irma fue una de las dos profesoras y 19 niños asesinados a tiros el 24 de mayo en la escuela primaria Robb, en Uvalde, Texas.
PRINCE HARRY & MEGHAN MARKLE SURPRISE Visit with UVALDE VICTIM's Fam
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are having a moment deep in the heart of Texas -- they made an unannounced stop to see the family of Irma Garcia ... a teacher killed during the Uvalde school shooting.
The Sussexes headed to Uvalde Saturday to spend some QT with Irma's family. You might recall, her story was even more tragic, because her husband Joe died 2 days after the mass shooting from a heart attack.
The Garcias were delighted by the surprise visit, with her nephew John Martinez writing on X: "Meghan Markle and Prince Harry came to my house! They're such a beautiful couple and I'm so blessed - so glad they came to check up on the family!"
Martinez also gushed about how loving and supportive H&M were to his cousins ... and also shared a clip of the pair singing "Happy Birthday" to his mom.
As you can see, Harry and Meghan also posed for snaps and chatted with the Garcias ... virtually becoming part of the family for the day.
Meghan first connected with the Garcias a few days after the tragic 2022 shooting ... while she was in Uvalde to honor the slain teachers and students.
MM was pictured visiting outside the nearby Uvalde County Courthouse at the time ... leaving a bouquet of white roses at a makeshift memorial.
Weeks later, she reached out to Irma's sister to check on the family's wellbeing, especially the 4 children who lost both their mom and dad under heart-wrenching circumstances.
Irma was one of 2 teachers and 19 children gunned down on May 24 at Robb Elementary, in Uvalde, Texas.

Treat Williams' Death Other Driver in Fatal Crash Strikes Plea Deal ... Won't Do Jail Time
The Vermont man who crashed into Treat Williams -- resulting in the beloved actor's death -- is pleading guilty to a reduced charge, and, as a result, he will not go to prison.
Ryan Koss pled guilty on Friday to negligent driving with death resulting. Koss was turning into a parking lot last June when he collided with Treat, who was riding his motorcycle. Although he was wearing a helmet, and was airlifted to a hospital for treatment, Treat did not survive his injuries.
In exchange for his plea, Koss is getting a one-year deferred sentence, probation and his license is revoked for a year. In addition, he'll have to complete a community restorative justice program for the misdemeanor charge.
Prosecutors say Koss has fully cooperated, and been accountable for the tragedy from the start, and even called Treat's wife from the scene of the accident to tell her what had happened.
During Friday's hearing, he said, “I’m here to apologize and take responsibility for this tragic accident.” Interestingly, Treat's family was not interested in pressing charges or seeing Koss do time.
Treat's son, Gill, was in court and told Koss, “I do forgive you, and I hope that you forgive yourself." Treat's wife, Pam, expressed a similar sentiment in a statement that was read in court ... but she added, “Our lives will never be the same, our family has been torn apart and there is a huge hole that can’t possibly be filled."
Koss had originally been facing up to 15 years in prison ... as he'd been charged with gross negligent operation with death resulting, a felony. He pled not guilty to that charge, before copping a plea for the reduced misdemeanor charge.
Treat famously starred in the movie, "Hair" and the CW TV series, "Everwood."

'Sister Wives' Janelle Brown Shares Last Family Photo Taken ... Before Son Garrison's Death
Janelle Brown is remembering happier times in the wake of her son, Garrison Brown's death -- posting a photo of the last time her whole brood was together.
Just a couple days after reflecting on Garrison's passing -- which occurred earlier this week -- the "Sister Wives" star shared a sweet family memory ... throwing up a pic on her social media that featured all six of her kids, whom she shares with her ex, Kody Brown,
The picture, Janelle says, was from Christmas ... and she wrote, "I had all my children together last Christmas. It was amazing as it's hard with everyone's busy lives to coordinate time like this. I am extremely grateful now that we had pictures taken."
The holiday allowed for Janelle to snap a pic of herself with her kids and grandkids -- the image marking the last full family photo for the reality star ... and obviously more poignant now in the wake of Garrison's passing.
The new upload marks Janelle's return to social media after announcing Garrison's death, who died by suicide on Tuesday -- this after she confirmed that her son had passed away.
We broke the story ... Garrison -- who appeared alongside Janelle and Kody on "Sisters Wives" -- took his own life at his home in Flagstaff, AZ. Flagstaff PD told us that Garrison's brother Gabriel was the first to discover him.
While we're told that Garrison died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound ... an investigation is still reportedly underway. Cops spoke with Janelle the day he died -- and she alerted them to alarming texts he'd sent to people they'd worked with before, and that raised red flags.
Garrison is survived by several family members -- as the Browns were famous polygamists before Kody's respective splits from wives Meri, Christine and Janelle over the last couple years. He was only 25.
RIP

Wolfgang Van Halen Fires Back at David Lee Roth Over Rant Taking Out Anger on Me!!!
Wolfgang Van Halen is breaking his silence after David Lee Roth attacked him in an angry viral rant 2 months ago ... firing back with some shots of his own.
In a new interview with a local radio station out of Atlanta, the late Eddie Van Halen's son says he's been born into the family drama and feels like David's targeting him now since his dad is no longer alive ... and the guy still seems to have gripes he wants to get off his chest.
Back in January, David Lee Roth erupted on Wolfgang in a bizarre YouTube video, suggesting the only reason WVH was the Van Halen bassist was through nepotism, and accusing Wolfgang of complaining David wasn't paying him enough attention on stage.
DLR said, "This f***ing kid, he's complaining the entire tour like I'm not paying enough attention to him on stage. Like Santa Claus coming down the chimney and popping out on Christmas with nobody paying attention."
Wolfgang now says he's honored David thinks about him enough to make a YouTube video about him ... adding DLR is full of crap for suggesting he wrote Eddie's solos and came up with Eddie's famous Frankenstein guitar.
David also accused Wolfgang of trying to teach him a lesson by getting two of his female guests kicked out of a show at the Hollywood Bowl ... but Wolfgang says folks should take everything David says with a grain of salt.
The legacy of bad blood continues.

Creador de "Dragon Ball" Akira Toriyama... Muere a los 68 años
Akira Toriyama, el artista que creó "Dragon Ball" y otras series icónicas de manga, ha fallecido.
Su compañía, Bird Studio, confirmó la triste noticia el jueves, anunciando que el legendario ilustrador y escritor falleció el 1 de marzo como resultado de un hematoma subdural agudo, que es cuando la sangre se acumula entre el cerebro y el cráneo.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
No hay información sobre dónde murió exactamente, o en qué circunstancias específicas, pero suena como que hay asuntos pendientes. La compañía escribió: "Nuestro profundo pesar es que él todavía tenía varios proyectos a mitad de creación con gran entusiasmo. Además, le quedaban muchas cosas por realizar".
Bird Studio añadió: "Sin embargo, le ha dejado muchos títulos de manga y obras de arte a este mundo. Gracias al apoyo de tantas personas de todo el mundo, ha podido continuar con sus actividades creativas durante más de 45 años. Esperamos que el único mundo de creación de Akira Toriyama siga siendo amado por todos durante mucho tiempo."
La empresa de Toriyama continuó diciendo que ya se ha celebrado un servicio funerario y que solo asistieron unos pocos familiares y seres queridos. La organización también dice que los regalos de condolencias son apreciados, pero no serán aceptados en su nombre. Además, pidieron privacidad.
En cuanto a un funeral público, la compañía dice que no están seguros si sucederá por el momento.
Esto solo habla del enorme impacto que Akira tuvo en Japón, pero también en todo el mundo. Su original serie de cómics "Dragon Ball" de los años 80 no solo dio lugar a múltiples series de televisión de anime -que se han convertido en series idolatradas y muy populares a lo largo de los años-, sino que también en una montaña de productos y objetos de colección que los fans de todas las edades siguen disfrutando hasta hoy.
Aunque "Dragon Ball" fue el logro que lo llevó a la fama, y el mérito de sus numerosos spinoffs, Toriyama también inició otras series de manga como "Dr. Slump", "Cowa!", "Kajika" y "Sand Land", entre otras. Es famoso por su estilo visual único, que influyó en innumerables mangas y series de anime posteriores: un pionero en todos los sentidos.
Tenía 68 años.
Que en paz descanse.
'Dragon Ball' Creator Akira Toriyama ... Dead at 68
Akira Toriyama -- the artist who created "Dragon Ball" and other iconic manga series -- has died.
His company, Bird Studio, confirmed the sad news Thursday -- announcing the legendary illustrator and writer passed away on March 1 as a result of acute subdural hematoma ... which is when blood collects between the brain and the skull.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
No word on where exactly he died -- or under what specific circumstances -- but his org was clearly crushed, as it sounds like there is unfinished business of his. They wrote, "It's our deep regret that he still had several works in the middle of creation with great enthusiasm. Also, he would have many more things to achieve."
Bird Studio added, "However, he has left many manga titles and works of art to this world. Thanks to the support of so many people around the world, he has been able to continue his creative activities for over 45 years. We hope that Akira Toriyama's unique world of creation continues to be loved by everyone for a long time to come."
Toriyama's company went on to say that a funeral service was already held, and that only a few relatives and loved ones were in attendance. The org also says that gifts of condolences are appreciated, but will not be accepted on his behalf ... going on to ask for privacy.
In terms of a public memorial ... the company says they're not sure if it'll happen just yet.
This just speaks to the massive impact Akira had in Japan, but also ... around the world. His OG "Dragon Ball" comic series from the '80s spurred not only multiple anime TV shows -- which have become idolized and wildly popular throughout the years -- but a mountain of merch and collectibles that fans of all ages continue to enjoy today.
While his biggest claim to fame is creating "Dragon Ball" -- and getting credit for the many spinoffs as well -- Toriyama started other manga series as well, including "Dr. Slump," "Cowa!," "Kajika," "Sand Land" and others. He's renowned for his unique visual style -- which went on to influence countless other mangas and anime shows thereafter ... a trailblazer in every sense.
He was 68.

Alec Baldwin May Call Celeb Witnesses ... For Defense at 'Rust' Trial
-
Exclusive
- 158 shares
Alec Baldwin may look to enlist the help of other celebs when his manslaughter trial over Halyna Hutchins' death gears up this summer -- but there's a catch ... TMZ has learned.
Sources with knowledge of the case tell TMZ ... the actor's team is considering putting together a list of famous people to potentially testify on Alec's behalf during his trial in July -- but we're told these stars would be people who've already spoken out in Alec's defense.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Specifically, we're told Alec and his team would possibly be eyeing public figures who've weighed into the issue of whether an actor can be held responsible for weapons on set.
Worth noting ... our sources say this potential witness list hasn't come to fruition just yet -- remember, the trial is still months away -- and we're told nothing is set in stone either.
Still ... if this comes to pass, it'd be major news -- especially with the potential names.
Anyone NOT in the industry or who has not worked on a set should STFU - you’re showing your ignorance.
— Frances Fisher (@Frances_Fisher) January 20, 2023 @Frances_Fisher
🤐
The grandstanding prosecutor doesn’t even go after the true culprit: Who put a live round in the gun?
‼️
There is NO investigation about that. THAT is the question.
So far ... Alec has received public support from a number of stars, all of whom have taken a firm stance -- namely, that it's crazy to go after Alec for something he wasn't tasked with checking in an acting capacity. Some of those names include Debra Messing, Mickey Rourke, DJ Qualls, Frances Fisher (who also starred in "Rust") and others.
Interesting to note ... some of these actors have already committed to being available in court if Alec should come to call on them -- including Mickey ... who tells us he's game to testify.
Not sure about this. I’ve been handed a gun so many times on set and could only trust when they said the rounds weren’t live. How would I know? As a producer, maybe he’s responsible, but as an actor pulling the trigger, it could have been any of us.
— DJ Qualls (@TheOnlyDJQualls) January 19, 2023 @TheOnlyDJQualls
Mickey tells TMZ ... "Whatever Alec needs I’ll be there 100%. The armorer is 100% responsible for any gun handed to an actor. Especially, to an actor who didn't have experience with guns."
Rourke adds ... nobody from Alec's legal team has reached out to him yet.
As we reported ... Alec pled not guilty to an involuntary manslaughter charge in January ... over two years after he held the prop gun that went off and killed Halyna during a "Rust" rehearsal. Director Joel Souza was also injured at the time.
The armorer on set, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was just convicted of involuntary manslaughter herself -- and while some feel that doesn't bode well for AB ... others disagree, arguing it only cements that the person responsible for weapons on set was found criminally liable.
We reached out to Alec's attorney, Alex Spiro, for comment -- but no word back yet.

Sean Garinger murió tristemente en la propiedad de su madre después de que su ATV se volcara sobre él, y ahora su familia está honrando el espacio como tierra sagrada.
Echa un vistazo a estas imágenes obtenidas por TMZ, que muestran el pedazo de tierra que se derrumbó cuando la estrella de "16 and Pregnant" quedó clavado por culpa de su ATV, el que aplastó su cabeza y le quitó la vida antes de que pudiera recibir ayuda.
Como se puede ver, hay un mini-deslizamiento de tierra en la ladera de una colina junto a un camino de tierra. Aquí es donde la madre de Sean, Mary Hobbs, dice que estaba aparcando el ATV para hacer espacio para su carro cuando ocurrió el accidente. Ahora, hay un altar improvisado que tiene flores y carteles que dicen: "Te queremos Squishy". Nos dicen que ese era el apodo de Sean.
María nos dice que están planeando hacer un monumento permanente.
Su padrastro Dan Wolfe está construyendo el monumento y le dice a TMZ que habrá un muro de piedra con un grabado láser de la foto de Sean, además de una urna personalizada hecha de madera de cerezo negro, grabado con láser con la huella del pulgar de Sean. Esto, además de su foto, fecha de nacimiento y muerte.
También habrá un jardín que rodeará el monumento cuando todo esté listo.
María dice que su hijo creció montando ATVs, motos de cross, vehículos de cuatro ruedas, etc y que no estaba haciendo nada imprudente cuando murió. Solo fue una tragedia absoluta.
Sean estaba en la temporada 6 de la serie con su ex, Selena Gutiérrez y ahora sus dos hijos pequeños crecerán sin su padre, algo por lo que Selena está agonizando.
Selena le dice a TMZ que sus dos hijas, Dareli, de 3 años y Esmi y 19 meses son demasiado jóvenes para entender lo que le pasó a su padre. Pero está contenta de que hayan podido pasar tiempo con él unas semanas antes de su muerte.
TMZ también obtuvo algunas fotos de la familia y videos de su última visita con sus hijos, donde Sean aparece amorosamente interactuando con sus hijos. Selena dice que era "un padre increíble que amaba a sus hijas" y su madre dice que sus hijas eran todo su mundo.
Sean solo tenía 20 años.

Sean Garinger sadly died on his mother's property after an ATV flipped over on him -- and now, his family is marking the space as hallowed ground ... and TMZ has the first look at it.
Check out these photos, obtained by TMZ, that show the patch of ground that caved in as the "16 and Pregnant" star was driving his ATV, causing the off-road vehicle to pin him underneath ... crushing his skull in the process and taking his life before help arrived.
As you can see, there's a mini-landslide on a slope of a hill next to a dirt road ... this is where Sean's mother, Mary Hobbs, says he was parking the ATV to make room for her car when the accident happened. Now, there's a makeshift memorial where Sean died ... with flowers and signs that say, "We Love You Squishy." We're told that was Sean's nickname.
Mary tells us they're planning a permanent memorial here ... which is currently in the works.
His stepdad, Dan Wolfe, is building the memorial -- and he tells TMZ ... there will be a stone wall with a laser engraving of Sean's picture, plus a custom urn made from black cherry wood, laser engraved with Sean's thumbprint, picture, birth date and death date. A garden will also surround the memorial when it's all said and done.
Mary says her son grew up riding ATVs, dirt bikes, four-wheelers, etc. ... and he wasn't doing anything reckless when he died ... it was a freak thing, and an absolute tragedy.
Of course, Sean was on Season 6 of the show with his ex, Selena Gutierrez ... and now -- their two young children will grow up without their father, something Selena is agonizing over.
Selena tells TMZ ... their two daughters, 3-year-old Dareli and 19-month-old Esmi, are too young to understand what happened to their father at the moment ... but she's glad they got to spend time with him a few weeks before he died.
TMZ also obtained some family photos and videos of his last visit with his children ... showing Sean lovingly interacting with his kids. Selena says he was "an amazing father who loved his girls" and his mom says Sean's daughters were his whole world.
Sean was only 20.

Armadora de "Rust" Se libera su foto policial tras la condena... Vistiendo el uniforme
Hannah Gutiérrez-Reed ya está tras las rejas a la espera de su sentencia luego de ser condenada por la muerte de Halyna Hutchins producto de un disparo y su foto ya fue liberada.
La ex armera, que estaba trabajando en el set de "Rust" cuando ocurrió la tragedia en 2021, fue ingresada en el Santa Fe County Adult Detention Facility el miércoles e hizo lo que cada preso tiene que hacer cuando es procesado: tomarse una foto para el registro.
Como se puede ver, Hannah no mostró ninguna sonrisa sosteniendo su pizarra. Es interesante, su foto se ve algo anticuada, hasta la clasificación de color.
Como informamos, Hannah fue puesta en custodia inmediatamente después de que se leyera su veredicto en la corte, donde un jurado emitió una sentencia dividida por dos cargos. Fue declarada culpable de homicidio involuntario y no culpable de manipulación de pruebas.
Hannah se mantuvo estoica durante todo el proceso, pero su familia la apoyó con emoción.
El caso duró alrededor de 2 semanas y los fiscales interrogaron a múltiples testigos que subieron al estrado y declararon en contra de Hannah, incluyendo los productores que dijeron, bajo juramento, que nunca le pidieron tiempo adicional al armero en el set (como ella había afirmado) y que descartó el sistema de registro para asegurarse de que las armas estaban siendo atendidas adecuadamente durante la filmación.
El abogado de Hannah argumentó que la producción en sí ya era un ambiente inseguro por su reducido presupuesto y que ella estaba abrumada con sus deberes, aunque el jurado no le creyó.
La familia de Halyna emitió un comunicado tras el veredicto y dicen que están contentos con el resultado, aunque también presagiaron que se podría venir más justicia cuando comience el juicio de Alec Baldwin.
El actor también se ha declarado inocente de los cargos de homicidio involuntario.

'Rust' Armorer Mug Shot Released Post-Conviction ... Already Wearing Jumpsuit
Hannah Gutierrez-Reed is already behind bars as she awaits sentencing after being convicted in the shooting death of Halyna Hutchins -- and her mug shot's already out.
The former armorer -- who was working on the set of "Rust" when the tragedy occurred in 2021 -- was booked into the Santa Fe County Adult Detention Facility Wednesday and did what every inmate has to do when they're processed ... take a photo for the record.
As you can see, Gutierrez-Reed didn't flash any smiles ... and her info is right there on the slate she's holding up. It's interesting, her mug is kinda old-timey, right down to the color grading.
As we reported, Hannah was remanded to custody immediately after the verdict was read aloud in court, where a jury returned a split verdict on two charges she was facing. She was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, and not guilty of evidence tampering.
Hannah remained stoic throughout the proceeding, but her family was emotional behind her.
The trial lasted about 2 weeks, and prosecutors trotted out multiple witnesses who took the stand and testified against Hannah -- including producers who said, under oath, that she never requested additional armorer time on set (as she'd claimed), and she brushed off a logging system to make sure the weapons were being attended to properly during filming.
Hannah's attorney argued the production itself was already an unsafe environment because of its shoestring budget, and she was overwhelmed with her duties ... but the jury didn't buy it.
Halyna's family released a statement in the aftermath, and they're happy with the result ... while also foreshadowing more justice might be coming when Alec Baldwin's trial begins.
He's pled not guilty to manslaughter charges as well.

'Rust' Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed Guilty of Manslaughter In Death of Halyna Hutchins

update
7:34 PM PT -- Halyna Hutchins' parents and sister just reacted to the news of Hannah's conviction. Their attorneys, Gloria Allred and John Carpenter, say ... "Halyna’s parents and her sister have always wanted everyone who is responsible for Halyna’s death to be held accountable.Today was the first trial and conviction in the criminal justice process."
They add, "We are satisfied that the jury, based on the evidence, found Hannah Gutierrez-Reed guilty beyond a reasonable doubt for her part in the taking of Halyna’s life.We look forward to the justice system continuing to make sure that everyone else who is responsible for Halyna's death is required to face the legal consequences for their actions."
Hannah Gutierrez-Reed -- the armorer on "Rust" who was charged in connection to the death of Halyna Hutchins -- just lost her criminal trial ... 'cause a jury says she's guilty of a crime.
A verdict was just read in court Wednesday out in New Mexico, where Gutierrez-Reed has been on trial since the end of last month ... with prosecutors going after her on two different charges -- namely, involuntary manslaughter and evidence tampering.
She was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, but not guilty of the alleged tampering.
A slew of witnesses were trotted out by the prosecution ... including the first assistant director, a producer on the film, and a line producer as well -- all of whom testified against HGR.
The prosecution's case basically amounted to Hannah being careless on the set -- to the point that it amounted to negligence, they claimed -- and it sounds like the jurors agreed after about a 2 week-long trial.
Hannah was remanded to custody ... meaning she was taken to jail right there in the courthouse -- this despite the fact that her attorneys asked she remain free until sentencing. The judge denied that ... noting a death had occurred, and that she'd been found guilty.
Hannah's family was sitting behind her during all this, and once the decision was reached that she'd be going behind bars immediately ... her loved ones started to break down.
Hannah herself remained stoic throughout the proceeding, and she didn't put up a fight as deputies led her away. A sentencing date will be set later down the line. She was facing up to 3 years in prison if convicted on both counts ... now, it'll be a fraction of that -- just up to 18 months in prison and a $5,000 fine. Unclear how much time she'll end up serving.
As we reported ... some key people testified against Hannah -- with Ryan Winterstern (a producer) going under oath to refute Hannah's claim that she'd asked for more armorer time while they were shooting the flick, specifically as it related to Alec Baldwin's cross draw.
Another producer, Gabrielle Pickle, testified that Hannah had ignored her complaints about weapons being left unattended on the set ... and that she allegedly shot down a logging system to see who was handling the guns and when. That was just some of the evidence.
Hannah's defense ended up basically boiling down to her being overworked by the production ... with her attorneys insisting Halyna being shot and killed wasn't on her whatsoever.
Clearly, a jury disagreed on that front ... but they didn't see enough evidence to convince them that Hannah had tampered with anything. No word on whether she'll appeal.
Of course, Alec himself still has a looming trial that'll kick off later this summer. He's facing manslaughter charges as well ... which he's pled not guilty to.
