Man Pleads Guilty, Gets No Jail Time For Friend's Drunk Driving Death

Posted: 5:16 pm EST February 4, 2008

A 22-year-old man pled guilty Monday for a drunk driving accident that left his friend dead, but the man walked out of the Orange County courthouse without serving one day in jail.

Both the driver, Brent Lewis, who was 20 years old at the time, and his passenger, 20-year-old Nick Fisher, were drunk. The accident happened at University and Goldenrod in April 2006.

"Brent is going to decide his fate. Either he is going to make a difference in life and he is going to do everything he is supposed to and, if he doesn't, he is going to end up in jail anyway. So, it's really up to him," said Teresa Fisher, the victim's mother.

Lewis will lose his license for 12 years, serve two years house arrest and ten years probation and he will have to undergo alcohol abuse treatment.
