Goodman, the 48-year-old, multi-millionaire founder of the International Polo Club Palm Beach, was also fined $10,000. He was convicted in March of DUI manslaughter, vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of the February 2010 crash in Wellington, Fla., that killed Scott Wilson, an engineering student.

1. Excellent news!

This guy makes my skin crawl.

2. It's great but it is also four years less than the woman in Florida gets for hurting no one.

Justice is a joke in this country.

3. And Goodman rejected a plea deal for 3 years. A joke, indeed. nt
