Florida Man Receives Sentence After DUI Accident That Killed Two-Year-Old Girl

By Orlando Personal Injury Attorney on October 16, 2012

Circuit Judge Wayne Wooten recently announced a sentence in a case involving a DUI accident that claimed the life of a two-year-old girl on Aug. 5, 2009. The 39-year-old driver convicted in the case received a 16-year sentence after pleading guilty last June to DUI manslaughter, possession of a controlled substance and other charges.
