Tampa DUI Attorney - Man in DUI Death Case to Get Lesser Sentence
Man in DUI death case to get lesser sentence: "Man in DUI death case to get lesser sentence. A circuit judge says that [the man] has shown remorse about the car accident that resulted in the death of [another man] last year.
[From the St. Pete Times]
DADE CITY - Four months ago all that stood between [the man] and a reduced prison sentence was whether he felt remorse.
How was the 23-year-old Land O'Lakes man affected by the charge of DUI manslaughter and the 2004 death of an acquaintance?
A judge wasn't sure whether [the man] felt bad for [the victim] and his family, or felt bad that he was going to prison. After [the man] pleaded no contest in August, Circuit Judge Lynn Tepper refused to reduce his state-minimum sentence of 10 years, four months. . . . 'I am satisfied you have shown remorse," the judge said. "I am prepared to reduce your sentence.'"
