Short jail term given in fatal accident case

A sentence has been handed down in the case of a deadly car crash that occurred in 2011.

Phillip Kane will serve a six month jail term and five years of probation for an accident that killed his fiancee, Elisa Mandella. Kane was found to have drugs in his system at the time of the accident.

A longer sentence could have resulted after a trial, but, citing the Corasanti case, the family wouldn't risk Kane's possible exoneration.
 

Saturday & Sunday 6 a.m. to 12 p.m.
