Springfield, Ohio — It took a jury a little more than two hours to find Jason Skaggs guilty of three counts of aggravated vehicular homicide and two counts of aggravated vehicular assault Tuesday night, Aug. 12.
Skaggs, 36, was convicted of the traffic deaths of Yan "Zoe" Sun and Bing "Jo" Xue, both 24, and Jin "Jack" Bian, 27, in a nine-car pileup at Urbana and Moorefield roads March 8, 2007.
The two charges for aggravated vehicular assault stemmed from two other people who were seriously injured in the crash.
He could face up to 34 years in prison.
Skaggs was convicted in 1994 of vehicular homicide and aggravated vehicular homicide in an accident that killed two Bucyrus residents. He served nine months in prison for the deaths of James E. Spiegel, 51, and his mother, Lucy M. Spiegel, 79.
