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.
