The woman charged with fleeing a deadly hit and run accident in Syracuse is found not guilty of the most serious charges against her. The jury found Alicia Alampi not guilty of vehicular manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident Tuesday. Cara Thomas spoke with the victim's mother about the verdict. 

SYRACUSE, N.Y -- When the jury announced they had unanimously agreed upon a verdict, tension was high in the courtroom. 

Alicia Alampi had been accused of driving drunk and killing Robert Bevard in a hit and run in December of 2013. 

After three long days of deliberating, the jury found her not guilty of vehicular manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident. She was, however, convicted on two counts of driving while intoxicated. 

Her attorney, Emil Rossi, said, "It's a matter of incredible relief for the Alampi family and the only think I can add is that in a situation like this where there had been a tragic loss and where there are explanations for it, what you really hope for is a verdict that everybody can live with."

Members of the Bevard family left the courtroom upset and shocked. Bevard's mother says she hopes Alampi has learned from this experience and realizes how her actions affect others. 

"Our lives will go on from here. We will always remember Robert the way he was and love him," said Mary Jane Bevard. 

Throughout the course of the trial, another name was continually brought up. Dan Myers is believed to be the only eyewitness to the accident, he is also a deputy with the Onondaga County Sheriff's Department. Police say he was following Alampi home after they had been drinking. Despite his alleged role in the incident, he never took the stand. 

Chris Bednarski, an Onondaga County assistant district attorney, said, "There's an ongoing sheriff's department internal investigation and there'll be a day to talk about Dan Myers and his involvement."

But prosecutors say this trial was meant to be solely about Alampi's role in Bevard's death, leaving more details about the incident to be revealed at a later date. 

Alampi is scheduled to be sentenced for the two drunk driving charges in April.
