Twin sentenced to 4 years for allegedly pressuring sister to take blame in fatal crash with Amish buggy in Minnesota.
In 2023, a woman from Minnesota was sentenced to four years in state prison after pleading guilty to criminal vehicular homicide and operation under the influence following a fatal crash involving an Amish buggy. Samantha Peterson, the driver, was under the influence of methamphetamine when she rear-ended the buggy, resulting in the deaths of two children. Authorities determined she was the driver through evidence from search warrants and cellphone data, despite attempts by her twin sister, Sarah, to take responsibility initially. Samantha expressed remorse to the victims' family during sentencing, acknowledging the impact of her actions. Her lawyer, Carson J. Heefner, commented that the sentence was fair. Sarah, who was also implicated in the incident, had already served her sentence for involvement in the operation.
