NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (KNOP) - An Ogallala teen was sentenced in Lincoln County District Court on Monday in connection to a crash that killed her 18-year-old passenger in North Platte.
Judge Cindy Volkmer sentenced Addison Malone, 19, to two to five years in prison for manslaughter.
Malone was originally charged with second-degree murder, motor vehicle homicide, manslaughter and minor in possession of alcohol, but those charges were dismissed as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors.
