Randall Miller, who was going to direct the Gregg Allman biopic Midnight Rider before the tragic death of camera assistant Sarah Jones, has pleaded guilty to charges related to her death. As part of the plea deal, his wife, producer Jody Savin, had her charges dismissed.

Jones was killed in February 2014 during filming on train tracks in Georgia. Miller, Savin and producer Jay Sedrish were charged with involuntary manslaughter and trespassing. Miller and Savin originally pleaded not guilty in July 2014.

However, in court today in Jesup, Georgia, Miller changed his plea to guilty. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Miller reached a plea deal, which includes two years in Wayne county jail and eight years’ probation. During that time, he won’t be allowed to work with film crews.

“We agree at this time the state could establish the essential elements of the crime,” Miller’s attorney, Ed Garland, said when he entered the plea.

Deadline reports that Sedrish received probation. He will not spend any time in prison.

Jones, 27, died when she was struck by a train as Miller filmed a dream sequence. The film was set to star William Hurt as Allman and the project fell apart when Hurt left.

In August 2014, the U.S. Labor Department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited the producers for safety violations, finding that the producers inability to come up with a safety plan was ultimately responsible for Jones’ death.
