Doctor "Guilty" Of Wife's Boating Death
KENTUCKY...
A jury that found a Mercer County doctor guilty of second-degree manslaughter Tuesday night in the death of his wife recommended a sentence of five years in the case Wednesday.
The verdict against Dr. Steven Hall was returned Tuesday shortly before midnight.
Hall was convicted in a May 2009 incident during which a pontoon boat he was operating on Herrington Lake ran over his wife, Isabel Lynn Hall, who was in the water. Steven Hall has been in jail in lieu of $2 million bond since his arrest.
Jurors had the option of acquitting Hall or convicting him of murder, second-degree manslaughter or reckless homicide.
