Killer of TV Producer's Cousin Sentenced to 50 Years in Prison



Lourdes Guillen, Producer of TV Show The View

[From article]
A TV production assistant who was shot in the chest by a violent crack-dealing thug asked a Brooklyn judge to throw the book at her shooter Wednesday – and the judge complied by putting the ex-con behind bars for 50 years.
“I begged him to stop and he looked into my eyes and shot me anyway,”
Lourdes Guillen, 27, who worked for “The View” when she was shot and got on-air “Get Well” shout-outs from Barbara Walters, said in a statement.
[. . .]
Brown, 30, was convicted earlier this month of putting two bullets into Guillen’s cousin Juan Medina and then heartlessly blasting Guillen as she pleaded for him to spare Medina’s life outside a Bushwick bodega in April 2012.
Guillen tearfully testified at trial Brown had become enraged because he thought bodega workers were too slow and then tried to pick a fight with her cousin before she hugged him to dispel any beef – but that after Brown left he quickly returned and opened fire.
