Plea comes in death of three Marine Corps recruits
Donald P. Williams Jr. of Austintown has pleaded guilty to 10 charges, including aggravated vehicular homicide, and will be sentenced to up to 31 years in prison for causing an accident that killed Marine Corps recruits March 31, 2010.
Friday in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court, Mike Burnett, assistant Trumbull County prosecutor, said a dashboard video camera in the semi truck Williams was driving showed that Williams, 46, did not react in any way as the truck crashed into the back of the car, killing the three young men instantly.
Comments
I truly hope that Donald Williams gets the max. Three previous convictions for DUI/DWI this man never should have been behind the wheel sober, muchless under the influence of whatever he was that day. The trucking company also needs to stand up and do right by the families of all the victims as the company bears all of the responsibility for allowing someone like Williams to operate their equipment.
