LA Times  

Kevin Monahan, left, fatally shot a 20-year-old woman after the SUV she was riding in mistakenly pulled into his rural driveway. A man who fatally shot a 20-year-old woman after the SUV she was riding in mistakenly drove into his rural driveway in upstate New York was sentenced Friday to 25 years to life in prison. “I think it’s important for people to know that it’s not OK to shoot people and have them killed for turning down your driveway,” Judge Adam Michelini said. Apart from the wider deterrent effect, the judge said, it’s important that Monahan remain behind bars rather than be free to harm more people. Walsh told Monahan that he’d taken the life of someone who “never, not for a second” threatened him.
