Liberty Mitchell, a driver who filmed herself speeding on Snapchat before a fatal crash, is having her prison sentence increased, according to reports. The articles say Mitchell recorded videos while driving at high speeds and that her footage was later used in court.
The reports describe the driving as reckless, including driving on the wrong side of the road. One outlet says she was travelling nearly 40 mph over the speed limit, while another refers to speeds close to 100 mph captured in the Snapchat videos. Both accounts link the filmed speeding to the crash that followed.
The crash is reported to have resulted in the deaths of two people. After sentencing, the court issues are reported to have changed the length of Mitchell’s custody term, with at least one report stating that the sentence is increased. The outlets do not give full details in the provided excerpts about the length of the sentence or the full procedural history, but they agree on the central elements: the Snapchat speeding footage, wrong-side driving, the excess speed, and the fatal outcome.
