SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (WDTN) - A former Clark County prosecutor accused in fatal hit-and run accident has been found not guilty.
James Berry was on trial for fatally striking 37-year-old James Pierce in Springfield Township in May 2010. Visiting Judge John Kessler made the ruling in a Clark County common Pleas courtroom Feb. 2.
Surveillance video from a nearby business recorded the accident as it happened. It showed Pierce stumbling, then falling onto Springfield-Xenia Road just before he was struck.
Berry maintained that he thought he hit a pothole and that was why he did not stop.
He faced up to five years in prison if convicted.
