Press Release from the family of Larry and Sierra Gaunt in anticipation of the upcoming trial of William K Johnson.
The trial for the deaths of Larry and Sierra Gaunt is scheduled for June 30, 2008, at the Jackson County Courthouse Annex in Independence, MO. William K. Johnson is charged with involuntary manslaughter for hitting Larry and Sierra with his truck while they training for the MS 150 Bicycle Tour, August 6, 2007, on Raytown Road.
Since Aug. 6, 2007, our family has faced many challenges in dealing with our loss. The trial, when completed, will end one of the most difficult series of events we’ve endured. We will be relieved to have an end to the criminal part of this ordeal and pray for justice in the senseless loss of two precious people. Hopefully, this trial will bring closure for our family and justice for this horrible loss.
As we met the challenges of our loss we were overwhelmed by the outpouring of compassion and support from the community, in particular, the cycling community, Pleasant Lea Middle School, and Tall Oaks Christian Camp. This support has assisted us through many difficult days. We are grateful for the many dedications and honors presented in the memory of our loved ones. And, we are no less appreciative for every kind words and prayer of which there were so very, very many. It is the grace of God that sustains us.
There has been a continuance in the trial that is delaying the start of the trial to July 14th. All other details are the same.
With Brad’s approval I posted pictures of the memorial ride.
video of the news cast of the accident and video of the news report of the trial verdict are also on the site.
