Woman resentenced to probation for 2009 crash that killed St. Charles couple
A woman serving a seven-year prison term for 2009 crash that killed a St. Charles couple while she had marijuana in her system but was not impaired was resentenced to probation Wednesday.
A Kane County judge said the THC in the body of Alia Bernard, 31, of Aurora, did not contribute criminally to the deaths of Wade and Denise Thomas.
“The criminal act, which is the cannabis in the system, played no role in this action,” Kane County Judge David Kliment said. “The facts of this case are unique and for me, rise to the level of extraordinary circumstances.”
