NEW YORK (AP) - A 25-year-old man who stole a delivery truck that struck an MTA bus in Manhattan, killing the driver, has been sentenced to 8 1/3 to 25 years in prison.
Domonic Whilby was sentenced on Tuesday after being convicted of aggravated vehicular homicide, manslaughter and reckless endangerment. He had been acquitted of murder.
The Daily News (https://nydn.us/2pVbzxQ ) reports that Whilby, of Griffin, Georgia had been drinking with his fashion model uncle, Tyson Beckford, at a nightclub before the early morning crash in February 2014.
The bus driver, 49-year-old William Pena of Hillside, New Jersey, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Whilby’s attorney had argued that he was too drunk to remember any of his conduct.
