EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — A Lane County jury convicted a Florence of second-degree manslaughter for a drunken driving crash that killed two friends.
The Register-Guard reports 28-year-old Tyler Clayton Davis faces a mandatory prison sentence of six years in prison.
Prosecutors had sought a first-degree manslaughter conviction that would have carried a 10-year sentence, but the jury returned the verdict Tuesday on the lesser charge.
The crash in September near Florence killed two Reedsport men, 26-year-old Joshua William Thornton and 24-year-old Nicholas Brodie Schneider.
