Police investigation into accident that killed Lily Johnson complete; report is now with county attorney, who will decide what’s next By Michael Kitch

24 Hour Hotline 366-4723

laCONIa, N.H.

LACONIA — Belknap County Attorney Melissa Gulbrandsen said yesterday that she is in the process of reviewing the police report of the traffic accident that took the life of Lily Johnson and

severely injured Alyssa Miner on April 19 in order to determine whether to bring charges against the driver of the vehicle, Amy LaFond. “I consider this an ongoing investigation,” Gulbrandsen said, explaining that although she has what she called “a large

file,” which includes the report of the investigation conducted by the Police Department and the medical records of the two victims, “the file is not yet complete.” She said that she has not received the report of the Belknap County Accident Reconstruction Team and

other information she declined to specify. Gulbrandsen also declined to indicate when she expected to complete her review and reach a decision, repeating that “it is an ongoing investigation.” If Gulbrandsen decides to press see rEPOrt page 10

FRANKLIN — After about two hours of motions and testimony in a trial for an operating a motor vehicle after suspension trial yesterday in the 6th Circuit Court, Franklin Division, Judge Edward “Ned” Gordon found Shawn Carter, 31, guilty. Carter is also being held for the second-degree murder of his mother and brother. After a defense motion to suppress the motor vehicle stop for want of probable cause evidence, Gordon ruled that the state had met its burden for stopping the car. Gordon sentenced Carter to serve 15 days in the Belknap County House of Corrections and pay a $500 fine plus a $120 administrative fee. He has been incarcerated since see CartEr page 10
