25-Year Sentence for Love Triangle Killer

MOUNT VERNON, NY — A Mount Vernon resident who ran over her long-time rival with her Mercedes Benz was sentenced Tuesday to 25 years in state prison.

The feud between the two women was long-running and well-known to friends. Scott posted a rant on Facebook before her arrest that included the assertion "jump out there and you will be dealt with accordingly," according to ABC7 News.

Now Glynis Pinto is dead and Carla Scott, 36, is starting a 25-year prison term.

Scott, of 20 N. 8th Ave., was found guilty by a jury in July of first-degree manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in death. Both are felonies.

The tragedy played out at 5:27 p.m. April 18, 2015, whcn Pinto stood in front of Scott's 2009 Mercedes at the corner of Warburton and Babcock avenues in Yonkers.

Scott drove forward and Pinto was launched onto the hood. Then Scott kept going with Pinto hanging on for about 30 yards, at which point Pinto fell off backward onto the road — and both right wheels ran over her. Pinto sustained multiple fractures and internal injuries causing her death, Acting Westchester County District Attorney James A. McCarty said.

Scott drove away. She was arrested four days later after a joint investigation by the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office, the Yonkers Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Assistant District Attorney Michelle Lopez and Assistant District Attorney Kerrie Williams of the Superior Court Trial Bureau prosecuted the case.
