FORT EDWARD, N.Y. (AP) A man who fatally shot a 20-year-old woman after the SUV she was riding in mistakenly drove into his rural driveway in upstate New York was sentenced Friday to 25 years to life in prison.

Kevin Monahan, 66, was convicted of second-degree murder in the death last April of Kaylin Gillis. She was riding in a caravan of two cars and a motorcycle that was trying to leave after pulling into Monahans long, winding driveway while looking for a party at another persons house in the town of Hebron.

I think its important for people to know that its not OK to shoot people and have them killed for turning down your driveway, Judge Adam Michelini said. Apart from the wider deterrent effect, Michelini said its important that Monahan remain behind bars rather than be free to harm more people.

The judge added up to 4 more years for tampering with the murder weapon, and scolded Monahan for showing no remorse.
