Guilty Verdict
A jury found a Midville man guilty of second -degree manslaughter after an hour of deliberations Tuesday.
Johnny Gene Garber was convicted at the end of a three-day trial during which his mother testfied against him. He was charged in the death of a 39- year- old brickmason, Gardner Jackson, of 12 Ninth Street in Jonesville.
Garber stood silently as the jury read the verdict. Judge Jonas T. McMillen, set a sentencing hearing for next Monday at 8 a.m.
Garber was charged with drunk-driving down Highway 69 in March. His car swerved out of control and ran head-on into a car driven by Jackson, who had been attending Midville Baptist Church.
During the trial, Able Sasson, the prosecuting attorney, called Garber's mother, Minnie Lee Garber, to testify her son had been drinking heavily at their home before that evening the accident occurred.
Garber received a sentence of two to five years in prison for the crime he committed.
