SAN ANTONIO - The last of four defendants has been sentenced in a Texas murder case that began with a woman's lie about being raped.

The San Antonoi Express-News reports the 24-year-old received a 15-year prison sentence Thursday.

On Tuesday, the woman accused of a falsely accusing a boyfriend of rape, leading to the man's murder, was sentenced to eight years in prison after pleading "no contest" to robbery in a plea deal.

Melissa Ann Ramos was originally charged with manslaughter.

Forty-year prison terms have been assessed convicted triggerman John McBurnett and Ramos' other boyfriend, James "Clay" Kelly,
who was convicted of arranging the killing.
