COVINGTON, Ky. (AP) - A man who admitted to killing a married couple while driving impaired on New Year’s Eve has been sentenced to prison in Kentucky.
News outlets report 61-year-old Mark Huffman pleaded guilty to two murder counts in August for the deaths of 24-year-old Ella McNay and 31-year-old David McNay II.
