Aimee Michael To Serve 36 Years Of 50 Year Sentence For Hit And Run

At 22, Aimee Michael was on a munchies run when she caused a car crash that killed five people including a 2-month-old, a 6-year-old and a 9-year-old. She went home, told her mom and the two covered up her involvement.

Now, Aimee’s about to spend the next 36 yeas of her life in jail. Not the rest of her life. For vehicular homicide. Not murder.

The 24-year-old Atlanta woman who fled the scene after causing a crash that killed five people on Easter 2009 will be pushing 60 when she gets out of prison, and the judge who sentenced her said it was the flight from the crash scene that she could not forget.

During a tearful hearing Thursday where many invoked God to explain the tragedy, Aimee Michael was given a 50-year sentence. Judge Kimberly M. Esmond Adams ordered her to to serve 36 years in prison with the rest on probation and added that Michael is permanently banned from obtaining a Georgia driver’s license.

The crash destroyed three families. Three children were among the dead in two cars on Camp Creek Parkway on April 12, 2009. And Michael, a recent college graduate from a stable family, had a promising life ahead.

So, she was sentenced 10 years for each person who died in the crash. And she can never legally get behind the wheel of a car again.

Her mother, who helped Aimee get the car fixed and painted, was sentenced to 5 years.

SMH… The coverup is the worst part. With that said, is 36 years too much or not enough time for this crime?
