Judge scolds man involved in fatal crash for Facebook posts
MUSKEGON (AP) — A judge says Facebook posts by a man involved in a western Michigan crash that killed an 83-year-old man showed disrespect for the elderly victim.
The Muskegon Chronicle reports 55-year-old Jon Kevin Middlecamp was sentenced this week to three months in jail for the May crash that killed Jerry Huston of Egelston Township and seriously injured Huston’s wife, 80-year-old Patricia Huston.
Middlecamp earlier pleaded guilty to misdemeanors including moving violation causing death. His attorney Edward Anderson says the crash “truly was an accident.”
Several Facebook posts attributed to Middlecamp, including one using profanity that said the elderly motorist “doesn’t need to be drivin,” were read aloud in
court.
Muskegon County District Court Judge Raymond Kostrzewa said the Facebook posts “show a complete lack of respect for this person’s life.”
Retired Supreme Court Justice Kennedy to receive Liberty Medal
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Retired Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy has been named this year’s recipient of the National Constitution Center’s Liberty Medal.
The Philadelphia museum said Kennedy will be awarded the medal Oct. 27 for efforts “to preserve, protect, and defend liberty by inspiring Americans of all ages to learn about the Constitution through civic education and civil dialogue.”
Kennedy taught constitutional law, in addition to private practice and public service, before being appointed to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in 1975. He served on the U.S. Supreme Court from 1988 until his retirement at the end of July 2018.
The center hosts constitutional debates and features interactive exhibits about the U.S. Constitution. The Liberty Medal recognizes individuals who strive to secure the blessings of liberty to people around the globe.
