CCRI student gets 10 years for DUI double fatal

SOUTH KINGSTOWN -- CCRI sophomore Brandy Graff was sentenced this afternoon to 15 years in prison, with 10 to serve, after pleading guilty to two counts of driving under the influence, death resulting, for the 2005 crash that killed two sisters who were taking a scenic drive on Ocean Road.

Graff, 20, apologized in court today to the families of the two sisters, and she addressed Judge Stephen P. Nugent in Washington County Superior Court.

“I never thought my choices would ever hurt anyone but myself,” Graff said to the judge. “There isn’t one minute that passes that I don’t wish I made better choices that day.”

More to come ...

She got six years more than the Dederians got for killing 100 people.
