A 26-year-old Chattanooga man convicted Friday of vehicular homicide and related charges in the hit-and-run death of a Unum employee could face up to 12 years in prison.
It took a jury of nine women and three men more than six hours to find Jeremy Allen Lane guilty of vehicular homicide, filing a false report and leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in death. The jury found Lane not guilty of DUI.
Lane remained composed as the verdict was read, leaning forward slightly as he stood next to his attorney, Dan Ripper.
His mother, Janice Lane, began to sob quietly in the audience moments after the jury found her son guilty.
