Vehicular manslaughter case results in probation for defendant tue to excellent work by his San Diego criminal defense attorney
On September 10, 2008 19-year-old Alec O’Keefe was ordered to serve a year in county jail and was placed on five years’ probation. In January of 2008, O’Keefe was arrested for vehicular homicide of a homeless man walking on a Midtown street.
O’Keefe pleaded guilty to the gross vehicular manslaughter charge in July, 2008.
The defendant’s skilled San Diego criminal defense lawyer argued to the court that due to Mr. O’Keefe’s age, level of remorse, and commitment to rehabilitation, that he should be given a chance and be placed on probation and not be sentenced to state prison. San Diego Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Fraser commented that O’Keefe is “getting a break” and should take advantage of that. The emotional hearing ended with O’Keefe’s sentence which was a much lighter sentence than the Deputy District Attorney Melissa Vasel asked for. Vasel had urged the judge to sentence O’Keefe to six years in prison.
