Raphael Dorrough was found guilty this Tuesday for operating while intoxicated causing death and reckless driving causing death. The 24 year-old faces up to 15 years in prison.
As evidence shows, Dorrough was doing 65mph in a 35mph zone and had substantial amounts of alcohol and drugs in his system. He struck and killed Jaryn Stevens who was only 22.
Stevens was on his way to work when his car ran out of gas. He called a friend who came to bring him more when they saw the car coming toward them. The two men tried to jump out of the way however Stevens was pronounced dead on the scene while his friend suffered minor injuries.
“Driving while impaired from alcohol or drugs can be a deadly formula as this case clearly demonstrates,” said prosecutor David Leyton.
Dorrough goes back to court for sentencing on March 25th. Though if you ask me, 15 years isn't nearly enough.
