Plea rejected in Shenango drunk driving death case
In Lawrence County Court President Judge Glenn McCracken Jr rejected a plea that would have let Kelly Haybarger DeVite plead guilty to drunken driving and serve 30 days to one year. Prosecutors argued for homicide by vehicle while driving drunk, but the charge was withdrawn. Trott’s family opposed the lenient plea, noting DeVite’s prior DUI and high blood alcohol levels.
