Finally . . . 2 lives = 41 months
The Iola Register Interactive: "Gas man gets prison
Aaron T. Anderson of Gas, convicted for his role in an accident that claimed the lives of two Galesburg people, was sentenced Monday to 41 months in prison.
In handing down the sentence, District Judge C. Fred Lorenz denied a defense motion to break from Kansas sentencing guidelines to either find an alternative sentence to prison or to shorten the proposed length of Anderson's sentence.
In February, Anderson, 27, also known as Aaron T. Fudge, pleaded guilty to two counts of involuntary manslaughter.
Then, he admitted to driving while legally drunk south of Iola on U.S. 169, when he crossed the center line in his vehicle and struck a southbound sport utility vehicle. Killed in the accident were Kirk A. Brunghardt, 40, and Sandra L. Coover, 51, both of Galesburg.
Lorenz denied the defense motion to alter the sentence after hearing testimony from several witnesses on Anderson's behalf, as well as acquaintances of Brunghardt and Coover."

This article doesn't mention that he admitted to smoking pot each day and that he had been to three different places to drink that night but that he really thought it was the fatigue that caused the accident. He doesn't remember anything between when he left work that afternoon and when he woke up on the highway that night . . .
