A Russell County man who entered a guilty plea on charges of vehicular manslaughter and wanton endangerment is expected to appear in Russell Circuit Court for sentencing today.
The Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office is recommending a 20-year-sentence on the charges.
45-year-old Billy J. Wilson was facing multiple charges, including murder, stemming from a wreck on the Cumberland Parkway in May 2019 that claimed the life of 52-year-old Christopher McNane of Nashville. Wilson was reportedly intoxicated when the car he was operating on the parkway crossed the median and struck McNane’s vehicle, killing him.
The hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. according to court dockets.
