State prosecutors on Friday accepted a plea deal in which the state dismissed a vehicular homicide charge and kept the teen’s original charge of driving with no valid license causing gre
at bodily harm or death.
This means the teen will be on probation until he is 19 years old.

His widow was in court Friday as the state accepted the teen’s plea.
The presiding judge also ordered the teen to undergo therapy, do community service and make a donation to JMH.
