A 32 year old woman from New Tazwell has pled guilty to vehicular homicide in Claiborne County. She recieved a 9 year sentence.Since vehicular homicide does not qualify as a "violent crime" she will be eligible for parole after serving 30% of her sentence.
The 17 year old victim in the case, Andrew Harmon, was a volunteer firefighter and an inspiration to his classmates and community. On his firefighter's shield he had an inscription that stated, "WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE FIRE YOU SHALL NOT BE BURNED, NOR SHALL THE FLAMES SCORCH YOU FOR I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD."
