Oh wow, the site I looked up said 15 years for DUI manslaughter: www.criminalattorneystpetersburg.com/DefenseLawyer/DUIDrunkDriving/DUIManslaughterDUIFatality.aspxPerhaps there's additional charges that would total 25 years or that site is wrong? In any case, think we're in agreement at the moment Price deserves a longer rather than shorter punishment. As you said it will be up to a Judge to decide that. However, when you run away rather than surrendering, of course a Judge is going to take that into account. There could always unfortunately be an Ethan Couch situation where some idiot Judge feels sympathy for the perp and gives him a slap on the wrist, but I think most Judges would look at a case like this and determine there needs to be a strict punishment. A similar case of course, Chris Ponce from The Hunt, William Angel's father has said if Ponce surrenders, he will ask for a lighter sentence. Ponce still hasn't surrendered. So if he doesn't, then I hope he gets the max as well once he's caught.

The additional charges are two counts of DUI with Serious Bodily Injury each carrying a maximum sentence of five years in prison. Throw in the charges of failure to appear and bail jumping and there's a good chance Price won't be seeing anything but prison walls for the next couple of decades. Let's hope that will be the case.

A slap on the wrist for what he did but I can understand why the plea deal had to be made, especially after all this time. As for the second part of your statement, I concur. Unless he is on probation after his release, there is nothing to forbid him from going to bars or drinking alcohol. The driving part yes, everything else no.
