Скачать или смотреть Guilty Plea in Fatal Crash Case — Judge Stevens Explains the Duty to Stay and Help

In this Judge Stevens courtroom moment, the defendant has already entered guilty pleas in two felony cases involving the same victim. The court reviews the pre-sentence report, hears from both sides about why a negotiated resolution is in the best interest of justice, and then Judge Stevens explains the legal responsibilities that apply when a crash causes serious harm.

Key topics covered:

• Felony sentencing structure (prison term + deferred supervision)
• Why leaving the scene can be charged separately
• The court’s emphasis on the duty to render reasonable aid
• Powerful victim impact statements describing the ripple effect of loss

When an accident causes injury or death, drivers involved have a duty to stop, provide identifying information, and render reasonable assistance. Leaving the scene can escalate consequences and can remove the chance for immediate help.
