Sentencing Complete...
A quick update and recap...
The drunk driver that killed my little brother (Dan) this past Feb was sentenced this week.
15 yrs for the death of my brother - will serve 4 in a federal penetentiary without chance of parole or early release
5 years for the malaicious wounding of Dan's passenger and best friend (Jason) - will serve 6 months.
All total a twenty year sentence with 4.5 years to serve and the rest will be probation. He has been in county jail for just over 5 months after tampering with his ankle tracker and disabling the brethalyzer and camera in his vehicle when he was initially released after his arrest.
The sentence was TWICE what the prosecutor / Commonwealth Attorney anticipated (thought 2 years tops) so my folks are as satisfied as they can be with the outcome.
Though nothing will bring Dan back, this result is much preferred over him walking out time served; which was appareantly a very real possibility.
Thank you all for your support during this time. I know I have not been around much these past few months. You, are my friends and in many cases my extended family. You are appreciated.
Be well-
Joe
