A teen whose prank of concealing a stop sign with petroleum jelly and cling film resulted in the deaths of two elderly sisters was sentenced to four years in prison.Seth Stonerock, 19, of Stoutsville, Ohio, was sentenced after tearfully apologizing to the families of the two women who died. He had pleaded guilty in February to two reckless homicide counts.
Mary Spangler, 85, died in the Aug. 17 crash when her 81-year-old sister, Jeanne Shea, drove past the concealed sign and collided with another vehicle.
Between tears, Stonerock sobbed: ‘I’ve very sorry for the tragedy’ to the victim’s family members.

Before this sentence, he had no criminal record, and was a former basketball star at Logan Elm High School.
