Golden Glow, New York resident Ann C. Howe, 78, the woman who hit-and-run killed 18-year-old skateboarder Timothy Olson, on August 24, 2010 was sentenced today to one year in county jail and had her drivers license revoked, according to the Star Gazette.
The 18-year-old was struck on Aug. 24 as he rode his skateboard on Hoffman Street near Elmira Free Academy. He died three days later of injuries he sustained in the accident. An anonymous tip led Elmira City Police to Howe and she was arraigned on the charge before Judge James Hayden three weeks after the incident.
One year doesn’t really seem like enough, does it? Then again, at 78 it could be a life sentence.

Now that isn’t justice. If the 18 year old hit the 78 year old he’d be thrown away. Good call Judge Judy.
