LACONIA, N.H. (AP) – A 27-year-old man has been convicted of negligent homicide in a crash that killed a Meredith woman in 2003.

The Belknap County Superior Court jury found Steven Aguiar of Laconia was responsible for causing the death of Nicole Gray, 26, because he was driving under the influence of a prescription anti-anxiety medication.

He faces up to 15 years in prison.

His lawyer argued that Aguiar lost control of his car because Gray grabbed the steering wheel.
