Acquitted driver admits guilt in fatal collision case
Robert T. Howell, 20, acknowledged he was the driver in a crash that killed Pamela R. Elmer, 18, after Wyandotte County Judge Bill Robinson directed a verdict of acquittal on aggravated vehicular homicide. The police van hit Elmer’s car at about 60 mph. Howell said he felt “real good” about the acquittal and blamed the DA for failing to prove his guilt. Elmer’s parents condemned the outcome as tragic and unjust.
