Aimee Michael was the cause of a massive car accident in Atlanta, a chain reaction that caused the deaths of five people, including a newborn baby, a 6-year-old and a 9-year-old. After being sideswiped by another car, Michael’s BMW hit another car, causing it to collide head-on with another vehicle. Michael is going to prison, because after causing this terrible accident, she fled the scene and tried to cover up the evidence.

Aimee Michael’s mother, Sheila (pictured right), was given eight years in prison for her role in the cover up.
This has left the Michael family devastated, but not nearly as much as the families of the victims.

“I want to say that I am wrong. I have wronged three families and for that I am sorry,” Michael said in court.

Michael was arrested two weeks after the accident, when neighbors called the police.
She was found guilty on five counts of vehicular homicide, six counts of hit and run and several misdemeanors.

The judge was actually brought to tears and said she prayed about the decision before rendering the sentence.
The deciding factor in the crash was the fact that Michael left the scene of the accident.
She also expressed disappointment in Michael’s mother for not turning her daughter in to the police.

“What Sheila Michael did was driven by fear and attempt to protect her child,”
said Renee Rockwell,Aimee’s attorney.
“It was the worst move she could have made.
If Aimee Michael had gone back to the scene, we would be talking about six to 12 months at most.”

This whole situation is just sad, everyone looses =(
