CARROLL COUNTY, GA — Former state trooper AJ Scott learns his sentence for the 2015 speeding crash which killed two teen girls and injured two boys in Carroll County.

Scott is sentenced to 20 years with 10 years to serve in prison.

Scott was found guilty on a total of five counts in the crash that killed Kylie Lindsay and Isabella Chinchilla. He was driving his patrol car at speeds of 90 miles an hour and did not have lights or sirens operating at the time.

It’s harsher than a plea deal the state previously offered, which Scott rejected. That deal would have been 15 years to serve and eight years in prison.

He was originally tried in 2019, but a judge declared a mistrial because the district attorney’s office allegedly withheld evidence.

Scott was stoic in court throughout the sentencing hearing, but showed clear emotion when he turned to look directly at the victim’s families while his lawyer read Scott’s letter expressing remorse.

The judge said, “there are no winners, only losers” in this case. Scott has 30-days to file an appeal of the sentence.
