Her sentencing then took place in October.
In the hearing, she apologized for what happened, saying that she wishes she could go back and change what happened.
She blames her addiction for what it took from her, but acknowledged that it took much more away from the family of Irma and Wilma.
She also took accountability for how she tried to fool the justice system in asking her sister to take the fall for her.
She apologized for that as well.
The judge then said, quote, criminal conduct that takes human life should be punished.
Accountability matters.
And people who commit crimes and deliberately try not to get caught and discourage law enforcement from doing its job deliberately, that has to be discouraged from a public safety and societal standpoint.
In the end, Samantha Peterson was handed a sentence of four years behind bars,
and a $40,000 fine.
She was given credit for time served, which was around two years, so she will only have around two more years to serve before she is released from prison.
As for Sarah, she also pleaded guilty to her charges.
She ended up being sentenced to 90 days in jail with a minimum of 60 days served with good behavior.
She also had to pay a $1,500 fine.
She was sentenced in March, so that means she has since been released from prison, though not a lot has been written about her since her sentencing hearing.
I would think that she's trying to keep a low profile after everything that's happened, so I'm not surprised that there's not much about her after she's been released.
Of course, as for the Miller family, they are left to grieve the loss of their two young children.
One of them was left with extremely serious injuries that I'm sure took a long time to recover from.
The father, Menno, did speak with the media about what happened, though he didn't allow his face to be shown on camera.
From what I can tell, he and his family are a lot stronger than I ever could be.
