Hope Richmond was sentenced to 12 years in prison Monday and her license was suspended for 5 years.

21 Alive in Fort Wayne reports that Richmond pled guilty to three charges in May that included leaving the scene of a fatal accident resulting in death or catastrophic injury, leaving the scene of an accident with moderate or serious bodily injury, and obstruction of justice.

Police say that Richmond hit 13-year-old Wayden Bennett and 12-year-old Ryly Cumings on October 1, 2022 along CR 275 North near Lake James and then left the scene.

Bennett died two days later. Cumings was treated and released from the hospital.

Richmond said in court that she is not a heartless person.

Bennett’s family urged the judge to take away her driver’s license for good, but it was suspended for the maximum of five years instead.
