Woman sentenced to 3 days a year in jail for 3 consecutive years after fatal crash
Jackson County, North Carolina (WLOS) A woman who crashed while driving impaired in 2017, resulting in the death of the vehicle’s passenger, has been given a specific sentence.
On Monday, Feb. 15, Jackson County Superior Court Judge Athena Brooks ordered Mary Harper, 41, to spend three days a year in jail for three consecutive years.
District Attorney Ashley Hornsby Welch, with North Carolina’s 43rd Prosecutorial District, says Harper had entered two Alford pleas to driving while impaired and misdemeanor death by motor vehicle. DA Welch explained that an Alford plea occurs when a defendant does not admit guilt, but enters a plea of guilty. The consecutive sentences of 90 days and 75 days, respectively, were suspended with three years of supervised probation imposed.
Resuming court proceedings now in local hands
Newly elected Chief Justice Paul Newby wants judicial districts, not state officials, deciding when and how to resume full court functions, including jury trials.
This week, Newby said he believes key coronavirus-connected safety decisions are better made at the local level, by judges, and not in Raleigh.
He suggested court officials consult with local health directors and examine other data.
“We will be following the lead of our two senior resident superior court judges and the chief district judge,” District Attorney Ashley Hornsby Welch said. “They fully understand the dangers of COVID-19 and the continued need for appropriate safety precautions.”
