A Williamson County woman has been re-sentenced after violating her probation on a reckless homicide plea.
The Jackson County State's Attorney says 22-year-old Keona Taylor-McKenzie of Carterville received a two and-a-half year re-sentence.
In July, 2017, Jackson County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a rollover vehicle crash on North Marion Street in rural Carbondale. Taylor-McKenzie was the driver of the vehicle. There were two juvenile passengers in the vehicle, one of whom died as a result of her injuries.

The court revoked her probation after finding she had violated all of those terms.
