The state's contention comes in response to Senser's appeal for conviction in the death of a Roseville man.
Hennepin County prosecutors are contesting Amy Senser's appeal of her two criminal vehicular homicide convictions last year in connection with the death of a Roseville man, according to a Pioneer Press news report today.

Currently, she is serving a 41-month sentence. To see the complete …

Edina resident Amy Senser was sentenced Monday morning to 41 months in prison for a hit-and-run crash that resulted in the death of a 38-year-old Thai chef last August. Senser was convicted last May of two felony counts of criminal vehicular homicide—one for not stopping at the scene of the crash and the second for not reporting it as quickly as possible—and a misdemeanor in the death of Roseville resident Anousone Phanthavong.
