The offender was sentenced for criminal negligence causing death and five counts of criminal negligence causing bodily harm after a high-speed police chase in a stolen vehicle resulted in a devastating collision.
The offender had an extensive criminal record of 168 prior convictions, including multiple prior police chases and driving prohibitions.
The court found the offender to be a recalcitrant recidivist with no prospects for rehabilitation.
Emphasizing the need to protect the public, denounce the conduct, and deter others, the court imposed a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
