Summary

A 37-year-old Idaho man, Kaleb Lancaster, just received a life sentence for driving drunk the wrong way on I-84, killing 20-year-old Gabriela Gonzales in a head-on crash. His BAC was .253 — nearly triple the legal limit. Facing charges of vehicular manslaughter and aggravated DUI with an enhancement for being a repeat offender, he pleaded guilty. Prosecutors sought 35 years minimum; the judge sentenced him to life with at least 26 years before parole eligibility. This case is a chilling reminder: drunk driving steals lives — and no sentence can undo that loss. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
