Here’s the story from our sister station New Radio 106.3 WORD:

John Ludwig, the man accused of killing another man in a crash in April, pleaded guilty to reckless homicide Monday in court.

The judge sentenced Ludwig to five years in prison, which is suspended to three years of probation. Ludwig must also serve 500 hours of community service. The state had recommended a 10-year sentence.

The defense called several character witnesses, including Ludwig’s high school football coach, the Lincoln County, Ga. sheriff and Ludwig’s pastor.

Troopers have said that Ludwig was driving more than 85 mph and lost control of his Maserati on April 25. The car sped across a field before plowing into the back of the home of 62-year-old Frederic “Bill” Bardsley. Bardsley was killed. His wife, who was upstairs, was unhurt. Ludwig suffered minor injuries.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo Now you know the story. Lot of people are talking about this! What do you think? Is it wrong? Do you feel that money paid for this guy’s freedom? I saw a great quote on a comment about this saying, “Greenville, SC bought and paid for by John Ludwig.” So I leave it too you now. comment the blog or call the show. Either way let your voice be heard!
