\nThe woman who drove drunk and killed a married couple on Westport Road back in 2021 has pleaded guilty.<\/p>\n
Alyssha McFadden will likely be sentenced to 16 years in prison after pleading guilty inside Jefferson Circuit Court on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
McFadden reached an agreement with prosecutors that changes her two charges of murder to two counts of manslaughter, each carrying a 16 year sentence.<\/p>\n
Those two sentences would run concurrently. The final sentencing is yet to be completed.<\/p>\n
George and Margaret Herbig were killed in the crash. Their family was in court Tuesday, saying they\u2019re glad to see this case near an end.<\/p>\n
They know nothing will bring back their parents, no matter how many years McFadden spends behind bars.<\/p>\n
They believe the fatal crash was inevitable, given how reckless McFadden was being. Her blood alcohol content was .206.<\/p>\n
McFadden will be back in court for final sentencing in June where the Herbig family plans to speak.
