Circuit Judge Debra McLaughlin handed down sentences and accepted pleas in a variety of felony and misdemeanor cases in Morgan County Circuit Court in recent months.
Judge McLaughlin sentenced a man found guilty in a January jury trial of delivering a controlled substance that caused the death of a local man in 2021. Joshua L. Fink, 31, of Berkeley Springs was convicted of the crime following a two-day trial in January. On March 7, Judge McLaughlin sentenced him to 15 years in prison for the felony offense.
