Joe Senser decided that he was "going to level the playing field today."
In a post-hearing press conference, former Minnesota Vikings tight end Joe Senser went after the prosecution for (what he feels) is them lying about the state of his wife the night she was involved in the hit-and-run accident that killed sous chef Anousone Phanthavong in August of 2011.
Amy Senser was convicted of criminal vehicular homicide and appeared in court for the second time asking for her release from prison while her appeal is being analyzed. Her first attempt was dismissed on a technicality when the judge involved failed to give a reason when dismissing.
Prosecutors from the Hennepin County (MN) DA's office claim Amy Senser would be a flight risk, while her defense team dismisses that notion...
The judge feels he will have a decision by the end of the week...
The entire Joe Senser presser is hyah...
Jana Shortal's coverage is hyah...

DEVELOPING: Amy Senser Gets 41 Months
((HT: KARE-TV))
Amy Senser, the wife of former Minnesota Vikings tight end Joe Senser, was sentenced to 41 months in prison for the hit-and-run death she was responsible for last August.
Her attorneys had sought probation while the normal sentencing crime goes anywhere from 41 to 57 months and the prosecution in Minneapolis was looking for the high end of the scale.
Here's the decision...
She was convicted on two felony counts: Leaving the scene of an accident and failure to promptly report an accident along with an additional misdemeanor and will serve an additional 90 days in a halfway house- the sentences to be served concurrently. Here's KSTP-TV's version...

Note To Judge May Alter Senser Case
((HT: MyFoxTwinCities))
A note to the judge has been discovered in the case file in the Amy Senser proceeding after the jury delivered their guilty verdict last week.
It may give the defense all they need for their appeal...
The note let the judge know that the jury thought that Amy Senser ran over something and not someone...
Here's Tom Lyden with the revelation...
Senser could face four years in prison for her charge, but her defense team may argue that, since the jury had questions the verdict may be in question...

Amy Senser Guilty On 2 Of 3 Felony Counts
Amy Senser has been found guilty on two of three felony counts of criminal vehicular homicide in a hit-and-run death incident from August of 2011. The jury deliberated for 19 hours and sentencing is set for July 9th.
Senser was found guilty on one count of criminal vehicular homicide-failure to stop, and a second county of criminal vehicular homicide-failure to notify police. She was found not guilty on criminal vehicular homicide-gross negligence. She was also found guilty on a lesser count of careless driving.
"We'll ask the court not to send her to prison," Amy Senser's attorney, Eric Nelson, said. "That's a reality she has to face... I think she's prepared for that possibility but it certainly scares her."
Prosecutors portrayed the Senser family as a generally uncaring lot while Nelson responded with the idea that the Senser's high profile is the reason the prosecutors are looking at the charges they did.
Meanwhile, the family of Anousone Phanthavong is thankful that justice "was accomplished..."

The lesser charge of careless driving carries a maximum sentence of 90 days in jail in the state of Minnesota. The two felony charges could carry a sentence of up to four years.
More when we know more...

Amy Senser Case With The Jury
((HT: KSTP-TV))
Amy Senser's attorney, Eric Nelson, says prosecutors are making an example of her because she and her husband, former Minnesota Vikings TE Joe Senser, are public figures.
Prosecutor Deborah Russell argued that evidence showed Senser knew she hit the victim, was probably drunk, and concealed evidence by deleting cellphone text messages.
The HQ thinks that the prosecution argument is a bit of a stretch to get all three felony charges up and running, and a lesser charge of careless driving may seem more in line.
Here's the atmosphere outside the courthouse...

Joe Senser Testifies At Wife's Manslaughter Trial
((HT: KARE-TV))
Amy Senser is currently on trial in a hit-and-run case where she is charged in the death of a man on the side of the road in August of 2011.
Former Vikings tight end Joe Senser was on the stand for his second day of testimony and seemed ready to throw his wife under the bus and have her face the charge alone.
Joe Senser became aggravated in cross examination and seemed to think that his wife wasn't all that reliable a person in general...
Senser's daughter Brittani also had previously testified and contradicted her father's testimony from the week...
Here is the story on the Senser testimony...

Amended Charges In Senser Case, Witnesses Come Forward
Amended charges have been filed in the Amy Senser hit-and-run crash from August in Minneapolis.
Senser was supposed to meet her two daughters and a friend of theirs for a concert. She never made it...
A friend of one of the Senser's daughters has now told police she overhead former Minnesota Vikings tight end Joe Senser telling his wife to “just go home.”
Coordinate that with two witnesses who have come forward. One of them, apparently, told police that a car matching Amy Senser’s was weaving and moving at what was termed "inconsistent speeds" before the accident that killed 38-year-old chef Anousone Phanthavong.
Joe Senser's cell phone records also show a call associated with a place called "Florida Detox, Inc.," as well as calls to Amy Senser's brother -- who is a metro-area Twin Cities police officer, a law office and a drug and alcohol treatment facility. Those four calls were all made the day after the accident happened.
Here's the latest from the Twin Cities...
((HT: MyFoxTwinCities))
Amy Senser is scheduled to stand trial April 23rd on charges of "criminal vehicular homicide" and "failure to notify police in a timely manner."
The HQ, really, can only say that this new stuff doesn't look good for anyone in the Senser family...
Period... and it looks like both Sensers may not escape this one...
