Man Pleads Guilty To Reckless Homicide

{Greenup, Kentucky}...A re-trial for Willam E. Gullett was supposed to start Monday morning in Greenup Circuit Court with jury selection, but Gullett pleaded guilty to reckless homicide in the 2009 death of his wife, 45 year old Vivian Gullett. Gullett was originally tried in 2010, but the case ended with a mistrial when, after three and a half hours of deliberations, the jury could not agree on a verdict. During that trial, Gullett admitted to drinking before driving but said his wife grabbed the steering wheel, causing him to to hit a tree. He claimed she wanted to kill both of them. Gullett faces five years in prison when sentenced June 28th.
