After several judge changes, Supreme Court rulings, and a trial set years later, the man accused of killing 15-year-old Aiden Lutz in October 2023 has pled guilty.
41-year-old Joshua Rivera pled guilty Thursday afternoon to three felony charges: Accidents Involving Death or Personal Injury, Homicide by Vehicle, and Accidents Involving Death or Injury While Not Licensed. As per the plea agreement, Rivera is expected to serve 120 to 288 months or 10-24 years and will receive credit for about three years of time served.
15-year-old Aiden Lutz was struck and killed by Rivera on October 19th on the 100 block of Dutchtown Road near Sugar Creek Drive.
Delays to the trial were caused by several judge recusals and challenges to evidence that went to the Supreme Court.
Jury selection was set to begin next week but is now canceled after the guilty plea by Rivera. Sentencing will take place Monday morning.
