From The Grand Island Independent in Nebraska
The 24-year-old driver responsible for striking and killing an 83-year-old woman in June has rendered his guilt on charges of vehicular homicide. The driver who had been ‘huffing’ computer duster behind the wheel, allegedly blacked out- prompting his pick-up truck to veer off the roadway and fatally hit an elderly woman who was picking berries in her back yard.
In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors agreed to reduce the criminal charges from a Class II felony (accompanied by a maximum penalty of 50 years in jail) to a Class III felony (carrying a 20 year maximum sentence). The 24-year-old Grand Island driver is scheduled to appear in court January 14th, 2010 for sentencing.
