Convicted Mom Blames Troopers and Jurors in Fatal Girl Scouts Crash

Amber Peery, a Kansas mother, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter after a 2022 car crash killed three Girl Scouts, including her daughter. Peery, who made an illegal U-turn leading to the crash, has criticized the fairness of her trial and expressed hope for probation. She blamed the truck driver and alleged judicial misconduct in recorded jailhouse calls. Peery's sentencing has been postponed, with her lawyers seeking a non-prison sentence due to her mental health and family circumstances, while victims' families demand a harsher penalty.
