Her fiance' jumped out of her van and died. But Wednesday, a jury finds her responsible for leaving the scene and NBC25 cameras are the only ones in court.
It was February 21, 2011, 28-year-old Jessica Chubb was driving her minivan on Kinde Road in Huron County.
Her fiance', 42-year-old Robert Arntz, was in the passenger seat.
they started arguing and robert jumped out at 45 to 55 miles per hour.
Chubb says she kept power-locking the door trying to keep him from exiting.
She says she tugged at his coat trying to keep him from getting out.
Once he jumped, Chubb says she went to get Arntz's sister to calm him down.
She made several calls to family and friends, but did not call police until hours later.
Doctors say Arntz died of a combination of a skull fracture, hypothermia, and a coma.
On the witness stand, Jessica Chubb said, "I never would have left him there knowing he was hurt like that. I wouldn't. I wish I could change the whole thing. You don't even know how much that goes through my head."
Sentencing will be April 18th.
Chubb could spend five years in prison.
