A former Alabama police officer, who denied being guilty of DUI following an accident that left a man dead, has lost his appeal of his conviction. The 38-year-old man, who resigned his position with the police department in Birmingham after his arrest, now faces a 12-year prison sentence.
The accident occurred on Nov. 18, 2009, when the former officer, who was off-duty, drove along Interstate 20/59 outside of Birmingham. His car had been traveling at a speed as high as an estimated 120 mph when it rear-ended a convertible. The two cars stuck together and skidded across the highway, according to evidence presented in court.
