Louisville EMT In Prison for Manslaughter Catches a Break
Tammy Brewer, the Louisville Metro (Kentucky) EMT who was originally charged with murder following an ambulance crash on April 3, 2008 that killed a patient, is in the news again. Last December, she pled guilty to involuntary manslaughter and accepted a 10 year sentence. It appears she may be catching a break, and may have the opportunity to be released on probation in about a year.
This tragic case is one of twelve I am tracking since 2001 where fire and EMS personnel have been charged criminally with murder or manslaughter for on-duty actions.
she should still be in jail
