Jefferson Circuit Judge Frederic Cowan called 27-year-old Kenielle Finch's decision to run from Louisville police in July 2008 "selfish and reprehensible."

Finch was convicted in December of murder, in the deaths of 5-year-old Claudia Wadlington and 4-year-old Riley Lawrence, who were on their way to a swimming lesson.

A jury also found Finch guilty of assault, tampering with physical evidence, and fleeing from police.

Police were chasing Finch, who was wanted on multiple warrants, and was on parole at the time of the deaths. Finch has been arrested 16 times since 2001.
