CROYDON, N.H. (AP) - A jury has acquitted a Vermont woman of charges she killed two people in a car crash New Hampshire last fall.
Kristine Lake of Sharon, Vermont, was accused of drunken driving and causing a head-on crash that killed 20-year-old Michelle Fenimore of Brownington, Vermont, and 18-year-old Nicholas Carpenter of Coventry, Vermont, in September of 2017.
Police say Lake’s car drifted into the southbound lane in Croydon before crashing with the car driven by Fenimore, in which Carpenter was a passenger. Lake suffered minor injuries and was later charged with two counts of negligent homicide.
A jury reached the not guilty verdict on Wednesday, after starting deliberations the day before.
