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.
