During the court proceedings, the families of Madeline and Angelina expressed their heartbreak and shared how their lives have been forever altered by this devastating loss.
Family gatherings have lost their joy as they now wait in vain for their beloved girls to arrive.
The incident occurred on January 30, 2021, when both 21-year-old McNulty and 28-year-old Terry lost their lives due to a drunk driver, Alina Wright who was driving on the wrong side of I-25 near Bernalillo.
Wright admitted to her actions and acknowledged the irreparable damage they caused.
Judge George Eichwald handed down the sentence to the 25-year-old following the plea deal.
He ordered Alina to be remanded to the Department of Corrections and will serve nine years in prison, with six years suspended.
Madeline Terry and Angelina McNulty were not just cousins; they were incredibly close, akin to siblings.
McNulty, a college student in Colorado Springs, was known for her love of hiking and animals.
Terry, who worked in Denver, was a caring sister, a new aunt, and an avid runner.
Their vibrant personalities and kindness left a lasting impact on everyone they encountered.
As the families navigate the painful chapter in court, they seek to honor the memories of Madeline and Angelina by living their own lives with love and resilience.
Alina Wright will need to turn herself into the Department of Corrections next Tuesday, continuing to face the consequences of her actions.
