A jury in St. Clair County has cleared Justin Simon of causing a Port Huron teacher’s death in a drunk driving crash but found him guilty of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, leading to serious injury. Simon admitted to causing the October accident, which left Ashley Nisbett hospitalized. His lawyer argued the hospital played a role in her death, but the prosecution said Simon was responsible since the crash put her there. Simon will be sentenced on Nov. 26, facing up to five years in prison.
