Woman Sentenced To Probation In Downtown Pittsburgh Fatal Red-Light Crash

A Waynesburg woman who ran a red light in downtown Pittsburgh and killed a motorcyclist last summer will not serve time behind bars. Amy Robinson was sentenced today to five years of probation after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter and reckless driving in the July 14, 2024, crash that killed 67-year-old James “JC” Christopher. The judge ordered her to spend the first eight months on electronic home monitoring and to pay a $300 fine.

Sentence And Home Monitoring

Allegheny County Common Pleas Judge Randal B. Todd imposed the probation term and told the courtroom, “there’s nothing I can do to make this right,” according to TribLIVE. Robinson had originally faced a homicide-by-vehicle charge before prosecutors and defense attorneys reached a plea deal that left her with convictions for involuntary manslaughter and reckless driving. In addition to electronic monitoring and the fine, she faces possible administrative action on her driver’s license through the state.
