Annette Tidmarsh simply wanted justice for her husband’s death.

By Thursday, the wife of Phil Tidmarsh – killed by a car while riding his bike on River Road on Sept. 9, 2008 – had accepted that she could not choose the fate of the driver who killed her husband.

So, she did the next best thing. She accepted Jordan Anderson Whitley’s fate, and then embraced him in the courtroom while men and women in the courtroom on both sides sniffled. Whitley pleaded guilty to felony death by vehicle, heroin and drug paraphernalia possession.

Superior Court Judge John Nobles sentenced Whitley, 20, to a maximum of 39 months in prison, but in reality, he will serve five months before he is released and placed on three-and-a-half years’ probation. He will have no license and be unable to drive during that time.

Whitley was high on a cocktail of morphine, marijuana, heroin and alprazolam, a tranquilizer, last year when he smashed his Honda Accord into Phil Tidmarsh, who had been riding in the designated bike lane.
