Man convicted in DUI fatal crash tries to adopt girlfriend

John Goodman

SOUTH FLORIDA — The south Florida polo mogul convicted of killing a University of Central graduate won't be allowed to adopt his girlfriend.

A judge denied his request on Wednesday.

John Goodman, 49, was sentenced to 16 years in prison for killing Scott Wilson, 23, in a 2010 drinking and driving crash.

The prosecutor representing Wilson's family claims Goodman tried to adopt his girlfriend as a means to protect his fortune.
