Woman who killed boyfriend in failed YouTube stunt sentenced to 180 days

By Lucia I. Suarez Sang | Fox News

A Minnesota woman who accidentally shot and killed her boyfriend in a YouTube stunt gone wrong has been sentenced to 180 days in prison after accepting a plea agreement.
Monalisa Perez, 20, pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter in December for killing her 22-year-old boyfriend Pedro Ruiz III last June. She was sentenced on Wednesday, the Star Tribune reported.
Under the plea agreement, Perez is banned for life from possessing a firearm and cannot receive payment for telling her story. She will serve her time in 10-day increments over the next three years.
According to court documents, the couple had prepared the stunt hoping for it to go viral.
Police said the couple set up two cameras outside their Halstad home. Their 3-year-old daughter and almost 30 other people were watching.
For the stunt, Perez, who was pregnant with their second child at the time, fired a shot from a .50-caliber Desert Eagle pistol at Ruiz from a foot away. They both believed a hardcover encyclopedia he held against his chest would shield him.
However, Ruiz was fatally wounded.

I wonder if there were any practice rounds through a book the same size? I would not want my wife even aiming in my general direction, just in case.

I remember reading about this right when it occurred.

As was once stated to me. "There are no more saber tooth tigers so there has to be more innovate ways to get rid of the stupid ones".

Best quote, yet!

In all seriousness, I think 6 months of jail is about right for her abject negligence and stupidity.

I wonder what ambulance chasing lawyer put that thought in his head? He needs to disappear along with his sleazy counsel.

They should just tell the judge that they identified as "ammosexual" and this was an act between consenting adults....

Playing devils advocate here but she shouldn’t serve any time. It was a stunt gone wrong. The guy was the brains behind it. If Evel Kenievel died during his attempt to jump the snake river canyon should the men that helped him build the rocket car and ramp be prosecuted for manslaughter? IMHO big boy rules apply. Do something risky and die it’s 100% on you for trying it in the first place.

Had Evel bit it because of some sort of human error there would no doubt have been some sort of repercussions, negligence is negligence.
