A teen accused ofrunning down a woman with a pickup truck in Nebraska City
entered a plea in Otoe County Court on Tuesday.
ShyAnne Parrott, 18, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. Other charges of first-degree murder, use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony, and failing to stop and render aid were dropped.
Parrott is accused of running down 20-year-old Amber Shipley with a pickup in September 2015. Investigators said Shipley was on the sidewalk outside of the Nebraska City library when Parrott drove her pickup truck onto the sidewalk, striking Shipley, before she drove off.
Tuesday, many of Amber’s family members gathered inside Otoe County District Court. It was an emotional day in court for Shipley’s mother, Sherry Bright.
“To hear her say that she did it. She actually had to say I’m guilty. I did it,” said Bright.
Tuesday’s proceedings brought some comfort to Amber’s mother who still clings tightly to her daughter’s ashes.
“This is all I’ve got of my little girl,” Bright told WOWT 6 News
Parrott’s father later turned his daughter over to police. Shipleypassed away at a hospital days after the incident
. The pickup that was used in the attack belongs to Parrott’s dad; it’s still a sore subject for amber’s mother.
“I called the police department the other day, because I wanted to know what was going to happen to the truck, and they told me they still had it in evidence, and he wasn’t sure when, but it would go back to her dad when it was released. My request to him would be to crush it! Destroy it! I don’t want to see that truck going down the street,” said Bright.
Despite all that the drama that may have existed between Amber and ShyAnne, Defense Attorney Jerry Sena says he knows firsthand how sorry his client is.
“She’s told me many times, that’s one of the hardest things for her is to live with the fact that Amber’s gone,” said Sena.
Parrott will be sentenced on July 21st.
“She should not be out in time to have the life she took from my daughter,” Bright said.
