A college student pleaded guilty Friday to causing the 2016 motor-vehicle death of a pedestrian walking in the dead of night on a rural road in Lyndeborough.
The guilty plea of Lyndeborough resident Grace Wight, 19, scuttled a trial in its fourth day in Hillsborough County Superior Court. Family and friends of Wight and the victim, Debess Rogers, 60, filled the courtroom. New Hampshire State Police claimed Wight had been texting and speeding, and she was charged with one count of negligent homicide, one count of reckless conduct with a deadly weapon and vehicular assault, a misdemeanor.
The trial started with Grabazs describing the night but then focused on expert testimony. A cellphone expert concluded Wight was not texting or talking on the phone at the time of the accident.
