The legal fallout relating to a YouTube video-related fatality has officially been resolved. Monalisa Perez, who shot her boyfriend Pedro Ruiz as part of an ill-conceived stunt the couple planned to post on their YouTube channel, has accepted an 180-day jail sentence stemming from manslaughter charges against her.
Perez shot and killed Ruiz last June. The couple mistakenly thought that an encyclopedia would stop a bullet from a Desert Eagle handgun, but when Perez fired on her boyfriend at point-blank range, the round penetrated the book and mortally wounded Ruiz. The couple had planned to upload video of the stunt to their YouTube channel, which currently has more than 26,000 subscribers.
In December, the 20-year-old Perez pled guilty to manslaughter charges an accepted 180 days in jail. Now, that sentence has officially been passed down. Prosecuting attorney James Brue said that, while the stunt was conceived by Ruiz, Perez is guilty of...

Though YouTube prank videos have spawned public outrage and myriad arrests, perhaps the most harrowing tragedy to emerge thus far from the video genre involves the death of a 22-year-old Minnesota creator who was killed by his girlfriend on Monday in the midst of filming a prank.
Pedro Ruiz III, who headlined the La MonaLisa vlog channel with his girlfriend, 19-year-old Monalisa Perez, was shot to death in the chest while filming a video in which they believed the bullet would be stopped by a book Ruiz was holding. The incident, in which Perez shot Ruiz from about a foot away, was allegedly captured by two cameras, according to the Pioneer Press. When emergency workers arrived on the scene, they attempted to revive Ruiz, but later declared that he had died as a result of the ill-conceived prank.
