At the Tuesday sentencing of a Sitka driver who admitted to fatally striking a bicyclist two years ago, Judge Jude Pate noted her immediate attempts to flee and dispose of incriminating evidence — as well as her refusal to speak with police.
Brooke Mulligan confers with her attorney, Lisa Rosano, during her sentencing in Sitka Superior Court on March 14, 2023.
The collision was witnessed by other motorists. Police located Mulligan about an hour later, and she denied involvement. Carlson’s injuries were so traumatic he could not be medevaced to a larger hospital, and he soon died at Mount Edgecumbe Medical Center surrounded by shocked and grieving family. In the aftermath of the incident, Mulligan was arrested, arraigned and jailed on $500,000 bail. Her mother posted bail six months later, and Mulligan has been under her third-party guardianship since then – which, in a small town, only fueled resentment toward her.
Mulligan agreed to a plea deal that will have her serve eight years with five suspended for criminally negligent homicide, five years with four suspended for leaving the scene of an accident and failing to render aid. She’ll serve the terms consecutively, for a total of four years, with one day off for every two days of good behavior. After getting out of prison, she’ll be on probation for eight years.
