Former Coach Guilty of DUI Manslaughter

A jury in Sarasota, Florida has found ex-coach Josh Hunter guilty of DUI manslaughter. The former Braden River High football coach could now face up to 15 years in prison. Hunter was found guilty of being drunk while driving and crashing his SUV which resulted in the death of his fellow coach and friend Doug Garrity. While the SUV that was driven did belong to Hunter, there was little proof that he was the driver at the time of the accident. Another friend in the car had stated that Hunter was the driver, but later said he could not remember who was driving.
