LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas woman faces sentencing in February after being convicted of second-degree murder in the hit-and-run death of a teenager from Leavenworth.
Amber N. Alexander, 28, formerly of Leavenworth, was found guilty Thursday. Prosecutors presented evidence that Alexander had several drinks before leaving a bar in Lansing and driving to Main Street in nearby Leavenworth in August.
Alexander struck a 16-year-old girl before speeding away and crossing a bridge into Missouri. Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 2.
