Jeffrey Liebscher, 53, of Sugar Camp appeared in Oneida County court Friday for charges related to the death of motorcyclist Sean Holtslander, 23, of St. Germain. Holtslander died in a traffic accident on Highway 17 in Sugar Camp Aug. 28, 2019. Family and friends of the deceased gathered in the courtroom, many wearing black t-shirts that said “Justice for Sean.”

Liebscher is charged with homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle and hit-and-run involving death, both felonies. Liebscher appeared before Judge Patrick O’Melia and pleaded guilty to the charge of hit-and-run involving death. District Attorney Michael Schiek said the state would dismiss the charge of homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle as well as a traffic violation of operating a motor vehicle without insurance.

Judge O’Melia spoke directly to Liebscher, ensuring he was aware that he was waiving his rights to a jury trial. O’Melia also noted that he was under no obligation to follow any sentencing recommendations and could impose the maximum penalty of $100,000 and/or 25 years in prison. Liebscher stated he understood.

A sentencing hearing is scheduled for April 20 at 1:30 p.m. District attorney Schiek is expected to submit letters from the victim’s family prior to the hearing as well as call three or four witnesses during the hearing.
