Source: Yahoo via CBC.ca

Convicted impaired driver Marco Muzzo has been sentenced to 10 years in prison today in connection to a Vaughan, Ont., crash that killed four people and seriously injured two others. Muzzo, 29, pleaded guilty to four counts of impaired driving causing death and two counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm. Ontario Superior Court Justice Michelle Fuerst is expected to announce Muzzo's sentence in Newmarket.

"I'm tortured by the grief I caused," Muzzo told the court at his sentencing hearing on Feb. 24.

The crash on Sept. 27, 2015, killed three young Neville-Lake children, Daniel, 9, Harrison, 5, Milly, 2, and their grandfather, Gary Neville, 65. Two other extended family members, the children's grandmother and her mother, were injured in the crash.

"You killed all my babies," Jennifer Neville-Lake, mother of the three children, said in her victim impact statement on Feb. 23. "I miss my kids. I miss my dad."

...Muzzo's family owns the drywall company Marel Contractors and is worth nearly $1.8 billion, according to Canadian Business magazine.

If even if the culprit had been a very rich man, his name simply has too many vowels for the affluenza defense to stick.
