WWE Hall Of Famer Sentenced To 17 Years In Prison
Former WWE star sentenced on multiple charges, including manslaughter.
Former WWE star Sunny has been sentenced 17 years in prison on charges of DUI and manslaughter.
The WWE Hall of Fame inductee (real name: Tamara Lynn Sytch) was sentenced in Volusia County, Florida on Monday. Judge Karen A. Foxman decreed Sytch is to serve 10.6625 years for the charge of driving under a suspended license and causing death or bodily injury, consecutively with another seven years for DUI manslaughter second-degree felony.
Sytch is to receive 566 days credit for the time she has already spent in prison.
On other misdemeanour charges, Sytch was sentenced to 364 days - and she'll also be on probation for eight years post-incarceration.
Sytch's situation stems from an incident in March 2022, when she is alleged to have driven her car, at a high speed, into one driven by 75-year-old Julian L. Lasseter. Lasseter, who had stopped at a traffic light, died on the scene.
In August, Sytch pleaded no-contest to DUI causing death, driving with a suspended license causing death, and other misdemeanour charges. The prosecution had sought the maximum sentence of 25 years, given Sytch's history of prior offences.
