Kimberly Gignac of Limerick, shown here with defense counsel Joel Vincent, pled guilty Thursday to manslaughter and leaving the scene of a fatal accident in Sanford last year that killed Alan Morin of Steep Falls. York County Superior Court Justice G. Arthur Brennan rejected a recommended three-year sentence agreed upon by the state and defense counsel. Brennan instead said a five-year prison term would be more suitable. Gignac now has the option of agreeing with the five year term or withdrawing her plea and proceeding to trial.

Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
