FARMINGTON — A man who killed his mother and stuffed her body in a freezer has been found not guilty by reason of insanity.

Jeremy Hauck, 23, appeared before a judge in 2nd District Court where his attorney announced that he had been restored to competency after nearly 6 1/2 years of legal proceedings. In less than five minutes, a trial was held and Judge John Morris found him not guilty by reason of insanity.

The judge had reviewed medical reports and both prosecutors and the defense agreed on Hauck’s mental state both at the time of the crime and presently.

“Unfortunately, there was never going to be a good resolution to this case,” Hauck’s defense attorney, Todd Utzinger, told FOX 13 outside of court. “It’s a tragedy all the way around. But I think it’s the right resolution.”

According to statistics, only 11 percent of young girls get the recommended hour a day of recommended physical activity -- compared with 42 percent of boys.

Girls on the Run (GOTR), a non-profit organization, wants to change those statistics.  They understand that exercise not only increases the health of our girls, but builds their self-esteem and confidence as well.

GOTR has had great success with its after-school program that is designed to promote physical, emotional and social development in 3rd – 5th grade girls through running and mentoring.  The program provides team coaches and individual ‘running buddies’ to more than 800 girls in Salt Lake County as they train over 12 weeks for the annual 5k at Sugar House Park each spring and fall.

SALT LAKE CITY – A Utah lawmaker has proposed a bill that would reduce lower-grade class sizes in schools.

House Bill 318 would put a limit on the number of students per classroom in kindergarten through third grade, but the legislation doesn’t provide more funding to hire more teachers and qualified classroom assistants.

This isn’t the first time this legislation has been proposed. It passed through the Senate last year, but never made it out of the House.

Supporters say studies have shown that lower class sizes improve literacy and help promote better learning later on.

“Study after study have just confirmed what parents and teachers have known for a long time, which is class size matter for early literacy and also creating a foundation for additional learning through the years,” said Rebecca Edwards, R-North Salt Lake.
