John Westin Massey
A man whose car crossed the centerline on Middle Valley Road and killed the driver of another vehicle in August 2012 was led away Monday night to begin serving an eight-year prison sentence.
John Westin Massey, 30, earlier pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide and DUI in the death of 46-year-old Tracy O'Neal. It was agreed at the time that the sentence would be eight years.
During a four and a half-hour hearing, Massey's attorney argued that he should serve 11 months and 29 days, then be on probation for the rest of the term.
DUI Prosecutor Kate Lavery urged that he serve the full sentence in the state prison.
Massey was taken into custody after Criminal Court Judge Barry Steelman decided that he should serve the full sentence.
