The death of a Kankakee County teenager in a 2016 crash finds a St. Anne woman re-sentenced to 5 and a-half years in prison.  39-year-old  Carmella Larson was orginally sentenced to six years for the crash that killed 15-year-old Kameron Allison of Reddick.  But the state's 3rd District Appellate Court agreed with a defense argument, claiming now-retured Judge Ronald Gerts had erred during her sentencing hearing.  A re-sentencing was ordered, and (Tuesday), Circuit Judge Michael Sabol sentenced Larson to the new 5 and a-half year term.

The Daily-Journal reports Larson's conviction for the DUI crash had her facing a sentencing that ranged from probation to 14 years.  

The May 2016 crash, according to police reports, was at Illinois Route 17 and 19,000 W Road.  Larson's southbound vehicle failed to yield and collided with a car Kameron Allison was in.  Allison was killed, his brother was critically injured.  The D-J reported Laron had been drinking that day and was headed back to St. Anne when ther crash occurred.
