Woman pleads guilty to crash that killed white supremacist

NEWPORT, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky woman has pleaded guilty to manslaughter in connection with a car crash that killed a white supremacist leader. Emily Sherry entered her plea Thursday in the April 2018 death of Robert Ransdell. Police say 24-year-old Sherry was driving under the influence when she veered into oncoming traffic and struck Ransdell’s car. Ransdell was pronounced dead at the scene. Ransdell led a white supremacist group based in Cincinnati, Ohio, and ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in Kentucky in 2014. Sherry faces up to 17 and 1/2 years in prison at sentencing, which is scheduled for March 31.
