A former corrections officer in Maine will not serve jail time for a crash in 2019 which claimed the life of a 9-year-old girl.
In October of 2022, Kenneth Morang was found guilty of manslaughter for the crash that killed 9-year-old Raelynn Bell. Morang fell asleep at the wheel after consecutive 16-hour shifts. He rear-ended the family’s SUV on Route 25 in Gorham.
According to the Portland Press Herald, Morang was sentenced by a judge to a six-year suspended sentence and four years probation. He was also ordered to pay a $5,000 fine and 200 hours of community service.
Raelynn died of a traumatic brain injury days after the crash.
