Indiana Woman Appealing Conviction In Fatal School Bus Crash

Indiana State Police via AP

An Indiana woman convicted in a crash that killed three children who were crossing a highway to board a school bus is appealing her conviction.

A notice of appeal was filed Jan. 17 with the Indiana Court of Appeals on behalf of Alyssa Shepherd.

The 25-year-old Rochester woman was convicted in October by a Fulton County jury of three counts of reckless homicide, criminal recklessness and passing a school bus, causing injury.

Shepherd was sentenced in December to four years in prison. Her attorney says a brief that will include arguments in Shepherd's appeal won't be filed for months.
