18.05.12

ROCKLAND, Maine — A 30-year-old Rockland man was sentenced Thursday, March 8, to nine months in jail for his role in a car crash two years ago in Appleton that claimed the life of a young Rockland mother of three.

“Of all the substantial authority I have as a judge, there is nothing I can say that can repair the holes in your heart,” Justice Jeffrey Hjelm said to the family of Morgan Wadsworth, who was 24 when she died in the May 28, 2010, crash on the Sennebec Road in Appleton.

Hjelm accepted a plea agreement reached between the district attorney’s office and the attorney for Brian H. Boody. Boody had been charged with manslaughter but at Thursday’s hearing, the charge was dropped and replaced with a lesser offense of reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon.

Boody was sentenced to five years in jail with all but nine months suspended, placed on probation for two years, and had his motor vehicle license suspended for three years.
