Tallahassee,FL : Wrong-way drunken driver gets 29 years for I-95 crash that killed two sisters on October, Thursday 19th 2017
Jupiter man who caused a fiery, wrong-way crash in 2015 that killed two sisters driving on Interstate-95 to Broward County has been sentenced to 29 years, with credit for time served.
Admerson Cleber Eugenio Vicente-Vicente had a blood-alcohol level about twice the legal level when he drove head-on into the women, who were heading to their mother's home in Pompano Beach after a trip to Universal Studios.
Vicente-Vicente, 26, appeared before a judge in Martin County on Thursday morning to face six charges. Four of the charges were dismissed for being repetitive. He pleaded no contest to two DUI manslaughter charges.
"I know I have caused much pain," Vicente-Vicente told Judge Lawrence Mirman through an interpreter. "I want to beg [the family] to forgive me. How many times I wake up asking why did they die and not I?"
Those killed were Alexis Musumeci, 24, a U.S. Air Force staff sergeant, who most recently served in England. She had just signed up for a tour in South Korea, which she hoped would land her a coveted assignment in Japan.
Her sister Brittany Musumeci, 23, was a violinist who had graduated four months before the crash with honors from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She was her school’s homecoming queen and was headed to South Korea to be close to her sister. She planned to teach both English and violin there.
