Former Kentucky bus driver guilty of reckless homicide

BARDWELL, Ky. –  A jury in western Kentucky has found a former bus driver guilty of reckless homicide in a crash last year that killed a 6-year-old student.

A Carlisle County jury found Anita Roach guilty of one count of reckless homicide on Thursday afternoon.

Roach was driving a Carlisle County bus that was returning students to school after a field trip.

The Paducah Sun reports Roach was found not guilty on several other charges, including second-degree assault and wanton endangerment.

Roach testified on Wednesday that she asked God why she didn't die instead of the boy, Logan Simpson. She told Logan's parents she would "have died that day" to let their son live.

She is scheduled to be sentenced later on Thursday.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said.

Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however.

The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs.
