Gutierrez-Reed was overcome with emotion throughout her sentencing hearing on Monday.

"A conditional discharge is not appropriate. The second option — leaving you in the detention center — is giving you a pass you do not deserve … you alone turned a safe weapon into a lethal weapon. But for you, a husband would have his wife and a little boy would have his mother," New Mexico District Court Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer told the 26-year-old.
