Driver Jeremiah Sleight, 21, found not guilty in car accident death of Michael McMurtrey, 65, on North Concord in Jackson, Michigan

Jeremiah Sleight, 21 who was charged with second-degree murder due to a fatal collision last June has been found not guilty by reason of insanity. Two separate forensic evaluations found that Sleight was not legally sane at the time of the accident which happened June 23 when Sleight rear-ended a Toyota Prius stopped at a stop sign. The Prius was then shoved into the path of an oncoming semitrailer and the Prius driver, Michael McMurtrey, 65, died from his injuries just hours later.  Sleight will spend no more than 60 days at a forensic psychiatry center where another evaluation will be completed and given to the court.
