Newspaper reports plea deal in accident that killed Hammersmith.

Perhaps this constitutes the only semblance of "closure" we might expect to achieve, but it remains a tough pill to swallow. I report it here for the record. It feels heavier than all that.

Plea deal reached in fatal New Albany crash; Man under the influence in wreck that killed Kevin Hammersmith, by Chris Morris (N and T)

NEW ALBANY — Wesley S. Bradshaw will spend the next 12 years in state prison for driving under the influence and causing the automobile accident that killed Kevin Hammersmith on Nov. 19, 2011, on Ind. 111, just south of Budd Road in New Albany.

Previously at NAC:

ON THE AVENUES: Rest in peace, Kevin.

One year later, Indiana 111 is no less dangerous than before.
