Damn! I had heard that this morning on the news. That is the most severe penalty I have heard of involving DUI vehicular manslaughter.


Ronald Bevan was sentenced to 186 months, or 15-1/2 years, for his role in a vehicle crash that killed 5-year-old Amber Randolph of Clearwater.

Prosecutors said Bevan, 30, was drunk while racing his friend Matthew Noel on West Kellogg on Feb. 12, 2011. They said Bevan cut off Noel, causing Noel to wreck his pickup truck into the vehicle being driven by Amber's mother, Michelle, who was also injured.

Bevan was convicted of aggravated battery and involuntary manslaughter. He had also been charged for second degree murder.

Noel's first trial ended in a hung jury. He will face a new trial in May.

That's harsh. He didn't do it on purpose, it was still an accident.

I do not have any sympathy for the fellow. Just surprised at the length of the sentence. Certainly, I hope it will help be a detriment.

He drank on purpose and raced on purpose. If you ever have a child you lose to a drunk driver think back to your comment here when you wish he gets locked up for the rest of his life.

Well I just think the daily beatings could be better served for a person who actually maliciously intends to harm or kill children rather than for some dumbass who just wasn't thinking and harmed one on accident.

Afterall, it's quite possible for one of us to commit manslaughter. No we may be smarter than to drink and drive, but you don't have to be drunk and racing in order to accidentally kill someone.

Yeah, something about living in Florida seems to make people act crazy and stupid. Maybe its the proximity to the Bermuda Triangle.

Pretty awful.

Although, I've raced before. Was hella fun. Wasn't drunk at the time and no one died. Was still terribly stupid, but it WAS fun.



Wonder what if anything the guy who actually hit them will get...

i think its awful, but im curious as to why it should or would be any different if he'd killed a 50 year old. the age of the person should not have any impact on this case.

but people want him to be beaten every day in prison because he killed a kid, not because he got drunk and raced. I'm just saying that those beating could better be served to people who are more malicious in their intent to harm and kill.

if it was truly under accidentally circumstance, then yes I would feel differently.
getting drunk, then drag racing down a public highway and killing someone is both ignorant and inexcusable.

I have no sympathy for drunk drivers. I've been drunk off my ass before and the most obvious fact to me was that I was in no shape to operate a vehicle. To get behind the wheel of a car while drunk shows a complete disregard for safety.

There's levels of drunkenness though. You may have been piss-drunk but this guy may have been just slightly drunk where he thought he was okay to drive. See, those kinds of drunks are much more dangerous. The ones who underestimate their drunkenness and overestimate their ability to act sober, those are the dangerous ones.
