Carlos Martinelly Montano Sentenced 20 Years for Fatal Drunk Driving Accident | Bristow DWI Attorney

Judge Lon Farris of the Prince William County Circuit Court sentenced Carlos Martinelly Montano to 20 years for causing a car accident on August 1, 2010 in Bristow, Virginia that killed Sister Denise Mosier and injured Sisters Charlotte Lange and Connie Ruth Lupton. Montano was found guilty of felony murder, involuntary manslaughter, two counts of maiming as a result of driving while intoxicated DWI, driving on a suspended license, and a third DWI offense within five years.

“I am truly sorry. I feel terrible. I have agonizing pain in my heart. Ever since the accident, I have been deeply moved for the life and the damage I inflicted upon the sisters.” – Carlos Martinelly Montano

Montano is a Bolivian national and was awaiting a deportation hearing at the time the fatal car accident occurred sparking outrage as many are wondering why he was even in the U.S. to begin with. Given that this was Motano’s 3rd DWI offense within five years, he was charged with felony murder and faced up to 70 years in prison. However, Judge Lon Farris reduced the sentence to 20 years after hearing that Montano had found God while in jail during the last year and that he had expressed extreme remorse for causing the accident.

“I have listened to your family and quite frankly, I have lowered down what I originally was going to give you based on that information. But unfortunately, your punishment still needs to be severe because of what you did.” ~ Honorable Lon Farris
