Judge Jeffrey Remick, of Minnesota state in the United States of America, yesterday sentenced a YouTube prankster, Monalisa Perez, to six months in prison for shooting her boyfriend in a botched video stunt they hoped would go viral.
Perez, a 20-year-old mother of two children, believed her boyfriend Pedro Ruiz would be shielded by a thick book as she shot him at a close range last June in front of onlookers.
Ruiz, 22, died at the scene.
Perez accepted an agreement with prosecutors in December and pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter.
She is eligible to serve the final three months of her sentence in home confinement and is subject to 10 years of supervised probation.
DAILY POST recalls that Perez and Ruiz were recording the stunt for their YouTube channel which published videos of their daily lives and pranks.
