Man gets up to 15 years for crash that killed passenger

BRENTWOOD, N.H. (AP) - A New Hampshire man who was intoxicated when he caused a crash that killed a 22-year-old woman has been sentenced to up to 15 years in prison.

WMUR-TV reports 22-year-old Seth Winkley, of Exeter, was sentenced Wednesday to four to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to reckless conduct and negligent homicide.

Prosecutors say Jasmine Marston was a passenger in Winkley’s vehicle in June 2017 when he crashed into a tree in Brentwood while driving 80 mph.

Marston’s mother, April, said she didn’t believe it would be possible to forgive Winkley.

Winkley apologized and said he never meant to hurt Marston.
