Update: The driver who fatally ran over Gone Girl actress Lisa Banes with his electric scooter has been sentenced to one to three years in prison on Wednesday.
Brian Boyd, 27, was sentenced by Judge Gregory Carro in Manhattan Supreme Court for the 2021 hit-and-run.
The precise amount of jail time will be determined by a state parole board when it reviews the case. However, Boyd could be out in as soon as a year.
Judge Carro gave credit to Boyd for his admission of guilt in a plea deal. The Da’s office later encouraged the judge to ignore the deal, since Boyd was backing off his guilty admission, claiming he used his horn to warn the pedestrian as he zoomed through the crosswalk.
The Da’s office asked for a sentence of three to nine years on the Class C felony.
Boyd pleaded guilty to manslaughter and leaving the scene of a crime.
