deplorable Continued from Page has made so far in overcoming her injuries Harmony has been making progress that has been beyond anyones wildest dreams said Ms Jago She has her speech back and now walks with the aid of a cane noted the Crown At torney Harmony expects to return to her Grade ll studies at the Georgetown District High School this February Mr pleaded guilty to two counts of careless driving caus ing death and one count of careless driving causing bodily harm Aside from receiving five years in connection with these charges Mr Boyes also must serve 18 months in connection with the theft of the Mustang he was driving May 26 Defense lawyer Ed Scofield asked Milton Court Judge Chris Speyer Mr Boyes receive three years while Ms argued for six to eight years Mr Scofield asked for the three year sentence arguing when Mr Boyes started drinking to what finally amounted to probably 12 beers around or 10 pm May 25 at his house he had no inten tion of driving that night The defense lawyer said a friend of Mr gave the 21yearold the tranquilizers at about in the morning Mr Boyes has no recollection of stealing the car or the acci dent said Mr Scofield He was like a zombie driving the car he said Evidence submitted to the court included a statement from a witness who saw Mr head bobbing up and down as he drove at speeds of up to an hour before the accident Mr Scofield also said contrary to press reports Mr Boyes was remorseful about the incident One thing that motivated the guilty plea was to not put the girl Harmony through a trial I say he does have
