A Covington man pleaded guilty today for accidentally killing a 6-year-old refugee from Nepal when he struck her with his SUV in August 2009.

Gregory Armwood was sentenced to 30 days in jail and a 12-month probation after pleading guilty to the second-degree vehicular homicide charge.

The accident occurred on East Ponce De Leon Avenue in Clarkston when Armwood illegally passed a stopped MARTA bus at the same time that Suk Maya Monger and her mother Rupa were walking in front of the bus to cross the street.

Oh Great ! Just what DeKalb County needs ! A New District Attorney without a Clue to go with our CEO and DeKalb County Board of Commissioners without a Clue !!!

This New District Attorney should be placed in Stocks at the DeKalb County Court House for Public Ridicule ???

This Newe District Attorney is a Shame and an Embarrasement to the County !!!

Hey, it's an immigrant kid. It's not like he killed a dog or something--that apparently gets you two years in jail (as it should). <snark>
