DON’T TEXT AND DRIVE
Zoe Reardon, 18, agreed to a 36 months probation plea to misdemeanor charges Monday morning, with her attorney saying she did not want to put the victims’ families through a trial.This court case stems from a 2017 that left three people dead.Under first-offender status, her record will be cleared when she completes the sentence.
Cherokee County authorities initially closed the case against Reardon with no charges, but it was reopened in the midst of civil litigation against the City of Woodstock, where the group died. It’s centered around a lack of pedestrian measures in place around an entertainment pavilion where the victims were headed to see a concert.
I want to take this opportunity to say how truly sorry I am,” Reardon cried, ahead of her sentencing. The victims included hurricane evacuees Kaitlin Hunt and her 3-month-old daughter, Riley, along with a family friend, 61-year-old Kathy Deming. This week would have marked Hunt’s 30th birthday, as loved ones from both families pleaded with Jordan to hand down the toughest sentence possible.
