A New York jury found Kevin Monahan guilty of second-degree murder for killing Kaylin Gillis after she pulled her car into his driveway back in April 2023. During the trial, Monahan testified that he felt threatened by the car and its passengers, so he started shooting. Law&Crime’s Sierra Gillespie breaks down the horrifying case and what’s next for Monahan.

How did she get shot in the back if they pulled into end of driveway to turn around???
His appearance and demeanor, his face, it all screams : very dangerous scary happy trigger coward with a gun. Society is saved from this man. Unfortunately the poor young woman had to pay with her life. That's the greatest tragedy. May her soul rest in peace.
He really, really, wanted to kill someone. Until he did.
Dudes a sociopath
Another gun owner with no idea what guns are for. America is full of these guys
Do not compare all residents of Texas and All residents of Florida to this trigger happy murderer!
Shame on you anti 2nd Ammendment people.
Any country who has EVER given up its guns IN HISTORY, always follows with removing citizens rights.
Wow. So he’s REALLY gonna find out what “trespassing” truly means now. lol. 🤢😂
Watching this from Australia, people drive into wrong driveways all the time you just observe and go bout your day not fire guns at people like a raging lunatic. You Americans are crazy for real.
Dude what?? 15 to 20 is fair to you???
Its because its not your daughter that died..
25 is still not fair to me..
Who brings a rifle to see who's in your driveway?!!!
For one thing, I'm surprised that he thinks he's so much in the right that he's screwing up the rest of his life over it, and for another, that he didn't invoke something like "self-defense," "stand your ground" or something like that.
I have zero respect for lawyers who represent people like this. Idc if they have to, they know what they are
I'm not religious, but this man makes me believe in the devil
An Irishman with an American accent. His ancestry is layed on really thick.
Seems to me like he lost his temper. It that car was turning around? Noooo plausible excuse.
I have mulled this over in my mind and I just can't understand what this guy could have been thinking. And I really hate to say this but when you figure that he could see they were leaving, it almost makes sense that he shot accidentally. He is obviously a repulsive person.
Everyone has to decide how they will spend their retirement years. I'll probably go fishin' but this guy chose to spend his golden years sitting in a prison cell. That's his decision.
Life plus 25 years so no parole.
Usians and their trespassing/gun addiction. Absolutely ignominious for a country that considers itself civilised.
A “happy medium” instead of a 25 year sentence? Is he kidding? What “happy medium” does the girl he murdered have? And his idiotic comment about weak cell service? If this clown was so panicked about a car pulling into his driveway why would his first reaction be to leave the safety of his home and run outside where he was more exposed – and then fire the gun at the car as it was moving away from him. The attorney in this interview is a clueless clown – trying to find excuses for the inexcusable.
No reason to get a better outcome for this low life – he murdered a young girl for no reason.
If younger people were just taught some damn manners, then this could have all been avoided. I don't ever pull my vehicle into someone else's driveway even if just to make a u-turn. It's disrespectful. I wouldn't want some a-hole driving onto my driveway to do the same thing so I wouldn't even think of doing that to a stranger. There are crazy people out there that pull out their guns on passersby. Even when I go hang out with my friends, I don't even park in their driveway. We're all hanging out, we're bound to run out of beer or ice or snacks. They might need to run to the store and who wants to ask a bunch of drunk people for their keys or have a bunch of drunk people move their cars? Don't disrespect other people and you'll stay out of trouble. Learn some manners. This generation is gonna be in some real trouble when WW3 goes down.
I don't know why this guy was saying 15 years would be better. He should get life. What he did had no excuse and was despicable. He should never go free.
When is America going to STOP LETTING PEOPLE HAVE GUNS?
Was he wearing his red trumptard hat when he murdered her ?
Yea! he is a liberal
He's a liberal
I grew up in a rural area – the neighbours were respectful and help out where they could. I can't imagine living around ppl that have guns and have a shoot first/ask questions later mentality – WTF is going on w humans these days!!
What is the alternative to a trial?
Check his backyard he's gotta have something buried out there don't you think By die
The USA is a mad country. The penalty for making a wrong turn is death apparently. Crazy people.
I would hate to live in the USA
With all do respect to the Prosecutor, every citizen is guaranteed the right to a trial, a right to face his accusers.
That old A$$hole shot and killed a young innocent woman for no reason. Was he drunk, was he tripping on meth and LSD!??
This is the result of unfettered conservatism being allowed to continue to exist. It's the ENTIRE right wing that has those action movie fantasies that enable them in all their ignorant, backward ideas, not just for self-defense.
You yanks are insane
Also, how does America reconcile the gun laws with religion? It seems most of the religious are the ones armed to the teeth. Next, we'll see Pastors armed with uzis over their shoulder, welcoming their flock. Jesus loves you, but man hates ya, so you gotta git a gun.
You're on someone's property, even on the driveway. I thought Americans knew their rights. They certainly know the one about guns. Not justifying his stupidity but you are assuming an awful lot pulling around on a someone's drive. They are friendly, they have their sanity etc etc.
typical gun nut
What was the address of the friends house and were these people already stoned!
The attorney that thought 15yr sentence was justice should be asked if his teenage child was the victim how would he feel never saw or could contact them again.
This is what happens when average guys have guns.
I wonder how he will react when Bobby wants to see him in the shower 🧼 Don’t drop the soap , wear sandals because there’s fungus in there
Poster child of the modern NRA
Wrong ways – wrong house – wrong parking spot, got two shots, one in the air, the other became murdered.
