PIGOTT, Ark. (AP) - Two people involved in a high speed chase have each been sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter in Arkansas.
The Jonesboro Sun (https://bit.ly/2nI9Vxh ) reports Lea Mamino and Robert Huffines were sentenced on Thursday in connection to the 2016 death of 84-year-old Sadine Dixon.
Mamino and Huffines also pleaded guilty to other charges, including theft by receiving and fleeing.
Dixon’s car was struck by a Clay County sheriff’s deputy who was in pursuit of Huffines and Mamino. Dixon was ejected from her vehicle from the impact of the crash.
Arkansas law states a person can be charged with murder if the incident occurs while committing a felony or fleeing a felony.
