Omaha woman acquitted of homicide

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 26-year-old woman has been acquitted of homicide in the crash death of an Omaha woman.

Online court records say Raysheena Samuel, of Omaha, had been charged with misdemeanor vehicular homicide after the Feb. 3 accident that killed 50-year-old Kathryn Hardiman. On Wednesday a jury found Samuel not guilty.

Police say Samuel ran through a stop sign and hit Hardiman’s car at an intersection off an Interstate 480 exit ramp. Samuel told investigators that her vehicle’s brakes failed.
