Wife of the 2019 Sherwood cyclist who was killed responds to the guilty party’s sentencing

Little Rock, Arkansas – The wife of a cyclist killed in Sherwood three years ago is speaking out in response to the killer’s Monday ten-year prison term.
“I’m upset and disappointed,” Kimberley Mundell said after requesting a maximum sentence of 42 years.
Cecil Ferrell was given a ten-year prison term on Tuesday for the 2019 cycling death of John Mundell.
While riding his bike, Ferrell ran over Mundell, killing him. Ferrell then left the accident scene and wasn’t found until 2020.
Ferrell had entered a no contest plea to the counts of reckless homicide and obstructing an investigation into an accident. He will now serve 10 years in prison concurrently for each of the two offenses.
Front and center in the courtroom, Mundell read a statement to Ferrell. She recalled her experiences with her husband and how the tragedy changed her, stating that she is more concerned with moving forward than with moving on.
“I wouldn’t wish this on anybody,” Mundell said “I poured my whole heart into that statement, and based on the comments that were made it sounded like it did make an impact.”
Ferrell had entered a no contest plea to the counts of reckless homicide and obstructing an investigation into an accident. He will now serve 10 years in prison concurrently for each of the two offenses.
“Like I said in my statement, no one should have to say bye 58 days after saying I do,” Mundell stated. “I’ve moved forward in a lot of ways… I think this one’s gonna take me a bit to process.”
