BASEHOR, Kan. (AP) - A Leavenworth County man has been sentenced to a year in jail and three years probation for a crash that killed two relatives who were to be groomsmen at a wedding the day they died.
Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson says 22-year-old William Wilson, of Basehor, was sentenced Friday for involuntary manslaughter while driving under the influence of alcohol.
The charge stemmed from a June 2015 crash near the Kansas River that killed 29-year-old Jesse Aldrich and 34-year-old Justin Wilson.
The Leavenworth Times reports prosecutors say William Wilson had a blood-alcohol level of .09 after the accident. He was 20 at the time and the legal limit for a driver under 21 is .02.
William Wilson and the two victims were to serve as groomsmen at Wilson's brother's wedding in Basehor the day they died.
