A Utah teenager who filmed a girl kill herself then filmed it was jailed for five years on Friday.
Tyerell Pryzbycien, 19, helped Jchandra Brown, 16, take her own life in May 2017 by buying her the rope she used to hang herself, driving her to the remote part of Spanish Fork, Utah, where she did it, tying the noose for her and filming her as placed it around her neck and killed herself.
After she took her last breath, he continued filming and then placed the cell phone which contained the footage at her feet, saying: 'I guess I'll leave this here'. She was found the next day by a turkey hunter.
In October, he pleaded guilty to child abuse homicide in a plea deal.
On Friday, a judge gave him the lowest possible sentence - five years - at an emotional hearing where he pleaded with Jchandra's family for their forgiveness.
'I’m also hoping that, although I don’t deserve it, the victim’s family will be able to forgive me for the immature, thoughtless and rash decision,' he told the judge.

Tyerell Przybycien, 19, (seen left in a court appearance last year)was sentenced to five years imprisonment on Friday for helping 16-year-old Jchandra Brown kill herself last May by giving her the rope she used to hang herself and filming it on a cell phone afterwards
Jchandra's mother, Sue Brown, spoke through tears.
'I also want Jchandra to come home, just like they want Tyerell to. But the difference is Jchandra can't,' she said.
Prosecutors argued that Pryzbycien should be put away for a considerable amount of time, claiming Jchandra would never have killed herself if he had not intervened.
They also spoke of material they found on his phone of toddlers being sexually abused and messages where he confessed to being attracted to children.
They also cited letters he had written from jail where he took credit for recent spikes in suicide rates.
'That’s a trophy for him and what he accomplished in helping Jchandra die,' Deputy Utah County Attorney Chad Grunander said.
In spite of their clams that he was a danger to the community, the judge gave him the most lenient sentence possible under the guidelines.
'I’m looking at behaviors and I’m looking at risk and I’m looking at rehabilitation potential,' he said.
Sue Brown, Jchandra's mother, spoke after the hearing to say that no justice would ever be sufficient because she could never get her daughter back
After the hearing, Jchandra's mother gave a heartbreaking statement outside court to say that no jail time would ever be enough because she could never get her daughter back.
'I'm still overwhelmed. I am missing my daughter. Like I said, there really is no true justice because the only true justice would be having my daughter back in my arms.
'You can't bring my daughter back so the sentence to me, I would like to see him be there forever, I'm not going to lie. I don't want him out to cause pain or havoc or anyone else's family.
'I cannot describe to you the pain of losing a child. There are no words.
'I died when she died,' she told ABC.
She also told how the family had fallen on financial hardship since her daughter's death.
'I don't think the world knows how much it cost and how much you lose when you lose someone like that. Not just financial cost for her burial and medical expense but medical expenses, lost wages. I'm losing wages today.
'I have lost, I have a new job, been there a month, but I've already missed at least six to seven days, just for court stuff.
'Just for this. It's just not right,' she said.
Przybycien, who had told friends helping Jchandra commit suicide would be 'like getting away with murder', had been facing charges of murder, witness tampering and failing to report a dead body which would have required to him to spend at least 15 years in prison if convicted.
A month before JChandra's death, Przybycien sent a different friend a message asking what they would do if someone told them they wanted to kill themselves.
That friend said that they would try to talk the person out of it to which Przybycien replied: 'The thing is ... I wanna help kill them.
'It will be awesome. Seriously I'm going to help her. It's like getting away with murder! I'm seriously not joking.'
It is not known how long he and Jchandra had been friends.
She moved to Spanish Fork in September 2016, less than a year before she died, after growing up in Idaho.
In a message to a different friend a month before the girl's death, Przybycien said he wanted to help her take her own life and that it would be 'awesome'
After Jchandra took her last breath, Przybycien put the phone he'd been filming it with at her feet and ran away. She was found the next day by a turkey hunter
On May 3, he drove her out to the canyon where she died after buying the rope and looping it on to a tree.
As she hanged, he sickeningly asked her for a 'thumbs up' and later remarked as she stopped moving that her it was 'when the brain stops getting oxygen.'
He continued filming until she had died and then left the phone at her feet and drove off.
After his arrest, he told police that he was 'scared'.
He admitted feeling like he had killed her personally, saying: 'I feel like I did murder her.
'I helped her so much,' he said.
They met no mention of her suicide in her obituary but described her lovingly, using her nickname 'Jelly'.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
