SoCal man gets 11 years for deadly DUI crash

A Downey man has been sentenced to 11 years in state prison for a drunken crash in which a college student burned to death.

An Orange County judge sentenced 22-year-old Kenneth McNair on Friday. His attorney says that with time off for good behavior and credit for time served, McNair could be out in 4 1/2 years.

Prosecutors say McNair had been drinking for hours before his car rear-ended a Mustang at a red light in Huntington Beach in November 2008.

Jose Pacheco, a 22-year-old college student, died when the Mustang burst into flames.

McNair was convicted last month of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. He apologized to Pacheco’s family at his sentencing but said he wasn’t seeking forgiveness because he’ll never forgive himself.

Fla. Man Charged With Posing as Twin After DUI

A man faces fraud charges after reportedly pretending to be his twin brother after he was pulled over for driving under the influence. The Highlands County Sheriff’s Office reported that 43-year-old man was pulled over Jan. 20 and charged with DUI. But deputies said the man initially identified himself as his brother and signed that name on his citation and jail forms.

Deputies discovered the suspect’s real identity the next day. He reportedly told deputies that he used his brother’s name because his driver’s license was suspended.

Besides the DUI, the man was charged with fraudulent impersonation, altering a public record certificate, passing a forged-altered instrument and several misdemeanors. He was being held on $31,250 bail.

If you have been charged with Florida DUI Musca Law has your back. They serve all of Florida with DUI charges.
