Man Gets 10 Years for Fatal DUI Accident

Although it was a terrible accident, one man has the next ten years to think about his actions that led to the death of an infant.

The 32-year-old man was found guilty in the fatal DUI accident that took the life of a 3-month-old girl. He was found to have been seriously intoxicated when he was caught speeding last year in Palm Beach. As a result of his intoxication mixed with excessive speed, the man crashed into two vehicles. He was later charged with DUI manslaughter for the death of the baby girl, and three DUI counts for causing injuries to other passengers, including a toddler.

After reviewing the details of the DUI accident, and accepting the guilty plea entered by the driver, the judge gave him ten years behind bars. If the man had not struck a deal with the prosecution, he is likely to have received a much longer sentence.

Anytime people have been charged with a serious DUI offense, they may face penalties like imprisonment if they are convicted which is why they should fight their charges with a DUI attorney on their sides.
