MN Nesties ~ Amy Sensor Verdict

[exploding people]

I was, and now it's in. 41 months... I'm not sure how I feel about that.

[julez]

YES. I hope they throw the book at her.

I read an interview with the victim's family in the ST yesterday. They are publicly handling this all with so much grace. I can't even imagine.

ETA: I wonder if they took her into custody immediately. I'm so glad that she didn't get off with only probation.

I'm glad she got jail time, but I was hoping for the max.

This Joe Daly douchebag who keeps talking to the media needs to STFU.

I don't understand. This is the first I've read of it. So, she wasn't drunk? It sounds like the guy she hit wasn't very visible. She could have stopped, called the police and not been charged at all. What an idiot.

The problem is, because she waited 48 hours to notify the police, they were unable to do a Breathalyzer, so the speculation is that she was drinking. I believe they found Mike's Hard Lemonade caps in her car. And early reports said the daughter and husband found her at home passed out on the porch.

She also admitted to drinking wine at the Eagle St bar before a concert at the Xcel Center, but on'y drank "a couple sips" before leaving.

I did not expect any time behind bars, so this is.....something.

I hope she gets reamed in civil court.

I wasn't either. Especially after the whole, jury/note thing.
Was Joe there?

I don't think he was there. All the pictures are just of her and her attorney going in. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he files for divorce any day now.

It sounds like their marriage had been going downhill for a while.
I wouldn't be surprised, either.

I feel terribly for their children, though. This has all been played out in the media so heavily, and they don't deserve all of the scrutiny over their family.

Also, she didn't come forward for NINE DAYS. The media was wildly speculating that it was her stepdaughter behind the wheel, and Amy let the public think that until the SD stood up to them and said "WTF? You've gotta confess."

This blows my mind. And her lame-ass apology, "I didn't know I hit your son! If I had known, I would have stopped!" Bullshit. EVEN IF you didn't know at the time (liar, liar pants on fire) you "found out" the next day when it was all over the news. Then she let her attorney turn over the vehicle, all the while never saying who was driving. Disgusting, and so, so disrespectful to the family of the victim.

I'm so glad she did not get probation. But man, that probably means she'll be out in a year and a half. I was really hoping for the full 5 years.

I thought I read she'd have to serve the full term of whatever she was sentenced to.

She's eligible for parole after serving 2/3 of the term.

Yup. I'm surprised she got as much time as she did. Will she get credit for any time served already? I can't remember now if she's done much (or any) time behind bars yet.

"Senser's attorney, Eric Nelson, said she was keenly aware she was responsible for Phanthavong's death. "

"She had his name tattooed on her wrist as a remninder to carry with her always," he said.
Really?

If I were in his family, I'd punch her in the face for this.

Fuck off, Amy.

This is absolutely disgusting.

I want to punch her in the face for that.

Backstory for those of us not in MN?

[spk926]

Of all the coverage on the news and in the paper I find it odd that I've seen NO emotion from her. That's weird to me.

I also read she had his name tattooed on her wrist because she feels responsible for his soul now. I would be pissed if I was his family!!!
