A Pennsylvania woman accused of shooting her boyfriend in the head has blamed an online alien cult for turning against them leaving him wanting to die.
Barbara Rogers, 42, killed Stephen Mineo, 32, during a dispute at their home in Tobyhanna in July of 2017, prosecutors say.
The couple are said to have belonged to an online cult called Sherry Shriner which focuses on aliens and the end of the world, WNEP reports.
Rogers says that after the cult turned against them both, doomsday prepper Mineo wanted her to kill him, Monroe County Courthouse heard.
They had both been drinking until the early hours on the night of the shooting, according to prosecutors.
When they got home Mineo is said have suggested shooting his gun in the woods behind his home.
Rogers claims it was when they went back into the home Mineo told her to pull the trigger after putting the gun to his own head and placing her hands on the weapon.
She then called 911, according to investigators, telling them: 'My boyfriend had a gun. He told me to hold it here and press the trigger. Oh my God, he's dead.'

Rogers has said the shooting was an accident as she did not know the gun was loaded. But prosecutors argue she could have stopped it.
Rogers has already rejected a guilty plea deal of third-degree murder.
Police lieutenant Steven Williams told WBRE in 2017: '(Rogers) identified that the deceased was having online issues with a cult and he wanted to be killed and requested she do it.'
The network reported how cult members were convinced Rogers was a witch or a reptile who wanted to kill Mineo.
And the alleged cult leader, Sherry Shriner, defended herself from allegations in a series of posts.
Shriner, who frequently rails against 'fake news', 'libtards', and the Democratic Party, wrote in 2017: 'I warned (Stephen) she was a Super Soldier who would kill him and move on... but I'm the "false prophet".
'Perhaps he finally figured her out..but it was too late for him. It wasn't the "online cult" that killed him... they always try and paint me as a cult...nice try libtards.'
In another post on Sunday night, Shriner wrote: 'They're trying to spin it that I'm responsible for Steve's death? No, Barb is. I tried to protect Steve. I tried to warn him about Barbara Rogers and he wouldn't listen to me.
'He thought I was insulting his 'wife'...when I was just trying to protect him from her! I knew what she was!
'They want to call me a cult leader? No. I'm just a humble servant and Messenger of the Most High. I've spent my life serving HIM and for that, I get beat up by Cain's kids, libtards, witches, Satanists, and haters everywhere.'
Rogers claims Mineo told her to pull the trigger after putting the gun to his own head. She then called 911, according to investigators, telling them: 'My boyfriend had a gun. He told me to hold it here and press the trigger. Oh my God, he's dead'

Mineo's social media accounts were full of posts about how the end of the world is coming and the need to prepare for it. He also spoke about the need to 'get right with god'.
It also claimed he married Rogers in October 2016. Rogers' Facebook page featured a number of posts on similar topics to Mineo's.

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.
