The manager of a Pigeon Forge amusement park avoided jail time Tuesday for the death of a women who was killed when she fell from a thrill ride. Charles Stan Martin got four years probation with no jail time, 200 hours of community service, and a $5,000 fine. Prosecutors argued Martin had either placed jumper wires defeating the safety system or was aware the wires were there.
