Amy Senser's Last Attempt to Overturn Conviction Denied
The Minnesota Supreme Court said that it would not further review the case, in which Senser was charged with hitting Anousone Phanthavong with her SUV.
The Minnesota Supreme Court announced that it would not further review Amy Senser's case, the Star Tribune reported.
“Based upon all the files, records, and proceedings herein, it is hereby ordered that the petition of Amy Margaret Senser for further review be, and the same is, denied,” Chief Justice Lorie Gildea wrote in the one-sentence order released Tuesday that ends the attempts to overturn Senser’s convictions for criminal vehicular homicide.
Senser was convicted of two counts of criminal vehicular homicide in 2012 in relation to the death of Anousone Phanthavong, 38. In 2011, she hit him with her SUV while he was on a ramp off of Interstate 94, and then she left the scene. Senser later turned herself in and denies knowing that she hit a person.
She was sentenced to 41 months in prison, which she is currently serving at the women's prison in Shakopee. Senser is scheduled for supervised release in October 2014.
