This is a sad story!! Pictured above is 24 year old Aimee Michael and her mother Shelia. The two have just been sentenced for their roles in an accident last Easter that killed 5 people including 3 children. Aimee caused an accident in Georgia on Easter Sunday and fled the scene. Shelia helped her daughter to repair the car and hide evidence of the crash. A neighbor called police when they saw someone making repairs to the car, this tip helped lead to Aimee and Shelia's arrest. Although the judge did not allow the jurors to hear that there was a marijuana joint found in the BMW Aimee was driving (which had her DNA on it), she was sentenced to 36 years in prison and her mother, Sheilia was sentenced to 8 years.
This situation could have gone a totally different way. It's scary to think that one bad move can literally destroy the lives of others as well as your own. Had she stopped, the jury may have had a totally different reaction and verdict. The fact that her mother did not have enough sense to call the police is crazy. I understand wanting to protect your child, but she couldn't have thought that was the best way to do it. They'll have time to talk about what they could have done differently since they'll be serving their time in the same jail, SMH.
