Driver who killed Jordan Parsons in DUI crash receives 10-year prison sentence after plea deal

Two weeks ago Dennis Michael Wright, 30, agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors in Palm Beach County, Fl in connection with Wright’s involvement in the hit and run death of former Bellator MMA fighter Jordan Parsons.

By pleading guilty to manslaughter Wright was offered a 10-year sentence, contingent on him telling the court “the truth about his alcohol consumption and actions on April 30, [2016] including the speed he was driving when he struck and killed (Parsons) and his actions from the time he struck (Parsons) until the time he turned himself in” (per Palm Beach Post).
