CARROLL COUNTY, Ga. — A Georgia mayor was sentenced Wednesday to 20 years with 10 to serve in prison for a deadly crash that killed two teen girls during his time as a state trooper.
The judge noted in court the sentencing came within days of the Sept. 26 anniversary of the crash. She apologized for the scheduling, saying it was not intentional.
In August, a Carroll County jury found Anthony “AJ” Scott guilty on multiple charges for the crash that killed 17-year-old Kylie Lindsey and 16-year-old Isabella Chinchilla in September 2015.
