A grand jury in Kentucky chose not to indict the driver of a car involved in a crash that killed two teens.
17 year-olds Marinda Perry and Kristi Blevins, both of Louisa, were killed in the accident in Lawrence County, KY back on April 25th. Kentucky State Police say their car was hit head on by a car driven by James C. Preece of Louisa.
According to a State Police press release, last Friday a Lawrence County grand jury returned a ”no true bill” in its investigation of the crash. That means there will be no indictment or further court action.
Troopers say following the accident, Preece claimed to have suffered a heart attack that led a loss of control of his vehicle and the fatal crash that followed.
The press release says investigators examined medical records, including toxicology results associated with Preece’s treatment, after the crash. While the presence of small quantities of some prescription drugs was discovered, there was no evidence that Preece was impaired by them at the time of the crash.
The KSP’s investigation revealed conclusive evidence that Preece had in fact suffered a heart attack around the time of the accident.

I think it is time for this to be off this site,let the girls R.I.P and Sonny go on with his life.
he had a heart attack from all the pills he has always done that is a fact. he was in court that same day on DUI charges this man is not innocent
I think it goes without saying that this is one of the cases that everyone in Louisa has been watching and waiting to see the outcome of. If there had been sufficient evidence of guilt, he would have been convicted. However, he wasn't, and that means they DID NOT have evidence to convict. This was and still is a horrible tragedy. And all of you who point fingers and are angry at him do not have to wake up every morning faced with living with what happened. He almost died too, you know. But nowhere does that seem to be mentioned. And you can't exactly plan when and where you are going to have a heart attack. If you could, you would be at the hospital waiting!! All families involved have been through an extremely rough time. My heart goes out to all of them. God's blessings and strength to you all!!!!
