What they’re saying
“This case is a painful reminder of how one reckless decision can permanently alter countless lives. It was heartbreaking to hear Khyree, Isaiah, and Anthony's parents speak of their children's dreams being taken away; children they can no longer raise, guide, or protect. While today's sentence holds the defendant accountable, it cannot undo their loss. I hope this outcome deters even one person from speeding recklessly or driving impaired and helps prevent another family and community from enduring this kind of loss.”
