Gregg Allman Biopic Director Pleads Guilty To Involuntary Manslaughter

. (hennemusic) Randall Miller, the director of the troubled Gregg Allman biopic "Midnight Rider", pleaded guilty Monday to involuntary manslaughter and criminal trespassing charges from a February 2014 train crash that killed a camera assistant and injured six film workers.

27 year-old camera assistant Sarah Jones was killed and six crew members were injured on February 20, 2014 when a freight train crashed into the crew as they were filming a scene on a historic train trestle in Doctortown, Georgia. Jones was struck by the train and debris from a bed that had been placed on the track for a dream sequence involving actor William Hurt.

Miller made a plea deal where he will spend two years in the county jail, followed by eight years of probation, and pay a $20,000 fine. The charges against his wife and business partner Jody Savin were dropped as part of the deal, according to CBS News. Read more here.
