Verdict reached in Schoharie limo trial of Nauman Hussain

SCHOHARIE, N.Y. (NEWS10) — The jury reached a verdict in the criminal trial of Nauman Hussain. After the fatal limousine crash that killed 20 people in 2018, officials charged Hussain with 20 counts each of both manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.

The jury is reading guilty verdicts for second-degree manslaughter charges. When the first was read, shouts were heard in the courtroom. Stick with NEWS10 for more from the Schoharie community, still dealing with the fallout three years after the deadly crash.

Twenty-four witnesses out of potentially more than a hundred were called to testify during the six-day trial. The case and the trial has ricocheted throughout the courts, with an abandoned plea deal at issue between Hussain and the judge.
