MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Molly Senser, Amy Senser’s eldest daughter, testified Friday morning that her mother was not drunk the night 38-year-old Anousone Phanthavong was killed in a hit and run accident.
Molly Senser, 15, told the court that her mother said she might have had something to drink but she was not drunk.
Prosecutor Deborah Russell then asked the teenager, “How do you know she wasn’t drunk?”
“Because,” Senser said, “I never have seen her drunk.”
Russell pressed further, “Then how could you tell?”
“Because I have seen people drunk before,” Senser said.
The teen also offered some new insights into the Senser home the day after the accident. Molly Senser noted her mother and father were out all day, but upon their return, her father, Joe Senser, looked grave. He told the two girls that something terrible and nightmarish had happened.
Molly Senser testified that her dad said, “Your mother may have been involved in a situation where someone had died.”
Senser says despite her curiosity, she didn’t ask any questions. She just cried and left it in her father’s hands.
Outside the courtroom, Joe Senser had a short-lived outburst – first criticizing the media and then greeting them.
