The accused was convicted of failing to remain at the scene of an accident, manslaughter, and criminal negligence causing death after his vehicle struck a pedestrian.
The accident was not his fault, but he left the scene for 20-25 seconds, during which time the pedestrian was run over by a truck and killed.
The court stayed the manslaughter conviction under the Kienapple principle.
Considering the highly unusual mitigating circumstances and collateral immigration consequences, the court sentenced the accused to six months less a day imprisonment, followed by 18 months of probation.
