80 YEARS FOR DRIVING INTO MOURNERS

COLUMBIA, S.C. A man who drove his car into a group of mourners at a South Carolina cemetery, hurting 11 of them, has been sentenced to 80 years in prison.

Judge Clifton Newman called James Kester a terrorist for attacking the people at the July 2017 graveside service because he had held a grudge against the Department of Mental Health over the treatment of his late daughter.

Kester drove to the cemetery in his Cadillac Seville after seeing an obituary in the newspaper for a woman who had worked for the Department of Mental Health, prosecutors said.

“You engaged in a reign of terror on that day,” the judge said.
