Terry Kennedy Receives 5-Year Prison Sentence in Skater's Death, Found Not Guilty of Murder Charges

From shredeverythingradio.com:

Professional skateboarder Terry Kennedy has been cleared of a murder charge but sentenced to five years for related offenses. According to the Daily Herald, TK will serve time in prison for five years for an attack that fatally injured his close friend Josiah Kassahun. The case has been highly publicized and controversial, with many in the skateboarding community pitying Kennedy. TK was accused of murdering a fellow skateboarder in July 2020. However, after a thorough investigation and trial, Kennedy was acquitted of the murder charge. Instead, he was found guilty of assault with a deadly weapon and sentenced to five years. Kassahun sustained severe injuries during the incident, including internal damage, a fractured skull, a broken eye socket, and bleeding on his brain. He underwent emergency brain surgery to save his life but unfortunately passed away four days later due to the extent of his injuries.
