Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- The woman who admitted she tried to burn down her pet store with live animals trapped inside has learned her fate.

Gloria Lee was sentenced to 5-14 years in prison on arson and insurance fraud charges. She received probation on charges of animal cruelty.

She also revealed that she was 3 months pregnant with her husband's child. This is the same husband she told investigators was responsible for the pet shop fire as Lee was currently having an affair with her accomplice Kirk Bills. The judge accused Lee of using her pregnancy to manipulate the court into giving her a lesser sentence.

A dramatic surveillance video was released that police say shows Gloria Lee, and co-conspirator Kirk Bills lighting the store on fire with 27 puppies still in their cages.
