DA’s office seeks to modify sentence in 2021 Evans City shooting
The Butler County District Attorney’s Office contends in a county Common Pleas Court motion that a Grove City woman should have been sentenced to at least 18 months in prison for firing a gun into the ground near a man in 2021 while he was arguing with his neighbors in Evans City.
In a motion to modify the seven-day prison sentence that Brittany L. Young, 39, received Feb. 2 for the July 18, 2021, incident, Assistant District Attorney John Kulzer III asks Judge Timothy McCune to modify the sentence he imposed by applying the deadly weapon enhancement sentencing guidelines.
“The sentence does not fit the crime. We don’t think it’s appropriate,” District Attorney Richard Goldinger said Tuesday.
