NEW YORK — The unlicensed driver who fatally mowed down “Gone Girl” actress Lisa Banes with his moped on a Manhattan street was sentenced to one to three years in prison Wednesday — infuriating her loved ones after he tried to dodge accountability one last time.
The sentence handed down to Brian Boyd by state Supreme Court Judge Gregory Carro came over objections from prosecutors. They said the 27-year-old’s lies to probation officials, after he pleaded guilty to manslaughter and leaving the scene in September, negated his plea deal.
Boyd hit Banes, 65, while she was in the crosswalk after he blew a red light at West 64th Street and Amsterdam Avenue on June 4, 2021. Surveillance video shows him fall off his unregistered electric scooter, dust himself off, take a few steps to look at the actress on the ground covered in blood, and take off.
