  • Highlights Reel From The YouTube Prank Couple That Stopped When The Guy Died

    When Monalisa Perez, now 20, was asked by Pedro Ruiz, then 22, to shoot him with a gold Desert Eagle .50 calibre handgun from about 30 centimetres away, she did it.

    You see, Ruiz was holding a thick encyclopaedia – go figure – in front of his chest, which he was sure would stop the bullet.

    However, it didn’t, and the YouTube prank the couple had set out to do tragically failed. You can read all about it here.

    Perez, at the time pregnant with their second child, pleaded guilty to manslaughter. On Wednesday, under a plea bargain, a Minnesota judge set out the terms, reports BBC.

    Now, Perez will:

    • Serve a 180-day jail term. This will be an alternating 10 days in jail and 10 days out for the first six months, amounting to 90 days behind bars. The remaining 90 days can be served in home confinement. The jail time can be served in South Dakota, where she now lives
    • Serve 10 years of supervised probation
    • Be banned for life from owning firearms
    • Make no financial gain from the case

    This wasn’t the couple’s first stunt rodeo, though.

    The two had been filming minor pranks for a while, all in the quest for Internet fame. However, none of them had indicated that the couple would come close to doing anything as dangerously stupid as the gun incident.

    Here are their most-watched, super average YouTube pranks.

    What is this garbage?

    If police had released the recording of the shooting, I am sure it would be sitting at number one. Alas.
