Aimee Michael's about to find out just how long 50 years can feel

Aimee Michael was sentenced to a decade for each of the five people killed in the accident she caused — then fled from, then concealed evidence of — on Easter Sunday 2009.

Today, Fulton Superior Court Judge Kimberly Esmond Adams sentenced 24-year-old Michael to 50 years — 36 in prison, 14 on probation — for the charges of which she was convicted on Monday: five counts of vehicular manslaughter, six counts of hit and run, and one count each of serious injury by a vehicle, tampering with evidence, reckless driving and failure to maintain a lane.

Here's a synopsis of the incident from DA Paul Howard's office:
On April 12, 2009, Aimee Michael was driving along Camp Creek Parkway in South Fulton County when her gold BMW struck a Mercedes traveling alongside her in the eastbound lanes. The impact of that crash forced the Mercedes into on-coming traffic where it collided head-on with a Volkswagen. The fiery crash killed an entire family in the Mercedes: Robert Carter, his wife Delisia her nine-year-old daughter Kayla and the couple’s newborn two-month old son Ethan. Morgan Johnson, a six-year-old girl seated in the backseat of the Volkswagen was killed as well. Tracie Johnson, Morgan’s mother, survived the crash with multiple injuries.
After the accident, Aimee Michael fled the scene and hid her vehicle in the garage of her Walden Park home in South Fulton County. In the days that followed, Aimee Michael and her mother Sheila Michael conspired to have the damaged vehicle repaired to conceal evidence of the crash. Despite repeated public pleas for the hit and run driver to come forward, Aimee Michael failed to do so. She was arrested two weeks after the crash on April 23, 2009 after neighbors reported seeing the suspected gold BMW involved in the crash outside of the Michael’s family home.

Michael's mom Sheila will serve eight years for helping her daughter cover up the accident.
