Woman Sentenced To 8 Years For Fatal Crash That Killed Attorney
CHILLICOTHE, Ohio - A new push was made on Tuesday to change state law to protect more people from drunk drivers.
It all comes after the death of Annie Rooney, a young, local attorney - killed by a drunk driver last summer.
Shira Seymour pleaded guilty to an aggravated vehicular homicide in the case, and a Ross County judge sentenced her to the maximum penalty of eight years in prison.
...
As four family members spoke for more than an hour, Seymour sat quietly, breaking down in tears a number of times as she listened before her sentencing.
"She took her car like a gun - she missed everyone else on the road, but she killed my sister," said Kate Rooney Lyaker, Annie’s younger sister.
