Paramedic Guilty Of Manslaughter
KENTUCKY...
A jury has convicted a former paramedic in western Kentucky of manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident in the death of a pedestrian. An Ohio County jury reached its verdict Monday against 31-year-old Brian Bellamy. Prosecutors argued Bellamy was driving drunk when he hit 32-year-old Antone Wilkins, who was walking along the highway. Bellamy's attorneys had argued that another vehicle hit and killed Wilkins. After the jury's verdict, Bellamy entered a plea agreement in which he will serve seven years in prison.
