After two days, 100 exhibits and testimony from four experts, a Worcester County jury in November found Jonathan Kidder, 59, of Berlin, guilty of vehicular homicide while under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident involving death.
Kidder was facing as many as 20 years in prison. The vehicular homicide charge carried a maximum five-year sentence, but because Kidder was a subsequent offender, the maximum could have doubled to 10 years. In addition, the leaving the scene conviction also carried a 10-year maximum.
On May 6, Kidder was driving while intoxicated when he struck and killed another Berlin man on a bicycle on Route 589. Kidder fled the scene and involved in another accident on Route 50 in West Ocean City about 10 minutes later and fled that scene on foot.

100% Scumbag!!! 5 prior DWIs, killed a man, fled two accidents in half an hour, judge should have given this douche bag the full 20 yrs. If the table was turned and the Honduran had committed these same crimes do you think he would get 5 years?
ReplyDeleteWho is this guy related to? Only Five years? I think he be behind bars for life. I mean jail, not his kind of bar.
ReplyDelete5 dui's? hell in delaware that would be considered just getting started!
ReplyDeleteIf he was an illegal he would have been released in hopes he would run back to the border. Judges are selling us out in America and this needs to stop.
