A 24-year-old man was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Monday by the Genesee County court in the United States. As reported by The Guardian, he was found guilty of killing his best man on his wedding day in August 2024. Deliberately, he hit him with his SUV following a dispute, the nature of which is still unknown.
On that day, the young couple celebrated their union in a pizzeria before continuing the party at a house. It was here that the argument broke out. The victim, a 29-year-old man, then left the premises. He was outside the house when he was hit by his best friend’s SUV. Seriously injured, he was declared dead shortly after at the hospital.
“I will be eternally sorry”
The couple only went to the police the next day. “The only thing I can do for the rest of my life is express my apologies and remorse… I will be eternally sorry,” the defendant said in court. He also stated that killing his best man “was not intentional” and that he took “full responsibility” for his actions.
According to several witnesses, the husband had been drinking alcohol all day. He was found guilty of second-degree murder, driving with a suspended license resulting in death, and leaving the scene of an accident he caused, resulting in death. His 23-year-old wife will be judged on May 26 for complicity. She pleaded not guilty in April.
