ATLANTA — Aimee Michael, who was convicted in connection with the
deadly 2009 Easter Sunday wreck in south Fulton County was sentenced to
36 years in prison.
Her sentence includes 14 years probation. Prosecutors wanted her to
serve 50 years in prison, while the defense requested that she serve a
sentence of 10 years.
Michael was convicted Monday of vehicular homicide, hit-and-run and
tampering with evidence by hiring a mechanic to fix her BMW after she
triggered the chain-reaction wreck that killed five people. The jury
also found Michael guilty of causing a serious injury by vehicle and
misdemeanor traffic violations.
Michael apologized to the families involved before her sentencing.
Her mother, 52-year-old former school teacher Sheila Michael, was
sentenced to eight years in prison for her role in the cover-up.
