Vehicular homicide guilty plea in Blount County

The Maryville Daily Times has reported that Jeffrey Knight, 42, has pled guilty for killing Brittany Thomas, 21 and her baby daughter Aiden, 10 months. The homicides happened in February, 2010. The mother and grandmother of the victims stated that the guilty plea was "the tip of the iceburg on the path to justice". She indicates she will work for stricter sentencing for impaired drivers and work to educate young people, because she does not want this to happen to anyone else.
Knight apologized during the hearing, but called his crime an "accident". It is no accident to drive with a .20 Blood alcohol level.
