November 14th, 2013 byAfter a 10-2 hung jury, with no hope for a sentencing verdict , Circuit Judge Bynum Gibson will decide the length of time (if any) Bryant Childs will serve in the Drew County Detention Center .
Judge Gibson requested a sentencing investigation, which is usually done by the parole and probation office.
The verdict will be announced later by the court.
A settlement agreement is still an option to the parties.

!!!!Chris, we run trucks as well with drivers in them. My husband does maintenance checks on all of our trucks that are running every Saturday or Sunday. He makes sure that there’s nothing wrong with them and that everything is working properly. He runs by the lot every night before he comes in to “look” at the trucks. He’s a very detail orientated person and notices the smallest little detail that’s different. Anytime one of our drivers bumps into something or tears up something, he notices. He usually asks the drivers about it before they have a chance to tell him. He understands how serious it is to have continued maintenance on his trucks. It truly does make a difference between life and death.
Praying for everyone involved in the accident and their families.
Inspection at the wrecker yard. (? November 13th, 2013 ?)
He specifically noted a tire with wires exposed and a brake line splitter that was worn.
He told the court that 3 of 4 trailer brakes were out of limits, and 6 of 10 brakes were out of calibration, total.
The accident occurred on (TUESDAY) October 29, 2012 just after noon!
