Deadly Employee Crash Leads To Jail Sentence For Salinas Employer

The managing partner of a Salinas Valley nursery who pleaded no contest to criminal charges in the death of a worker in a vehicle accident has "never been in trouble before" and should be allowed to serve his six-month sentence in supervised home confinement, his attorney says. Jeffrey Nilsen was deeply affected by the tragedy and is committed to preventing future safety problems, the attorney adds. Cal-OSHA Reporter
