YOUNGSTOWN — Matthew Wilson, 24, was sentenced today in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court to six months in the county jail for the Nov. 29, 2016 death of Judy Dailey in the parking lot of the Southern Park Mall.
Wilson was sentenced by Judge John Durkin on a charge of misdemeanor vehicular homicide for running Dailey over in the parking lot.
Wilson was indicted on a misdemeanor by a grand jury because he had a seizure at the time of the accident.
However, Dailey's family are upset because Wilson was not taking his medication at the time Dailey was killed. They wanted the case indicted as a felony.
The case was presented as felony to the grand jury, but the grand jury chose to indict on the misdemeanor.
The six months is the maximum sentence.
