Man Who Posted Video Confession to Drunken Driving Fatality Gets 6-1/2 Years

Ohio man pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular homicide

A 22-year-old Ohio man who confessed in an online video to killing a man in a drunken driving crash was sentenced on Wednesday to 6-1/2 years in prison.

Matthew Cordle, who lives in the Columbus suburb of Dublin, Ohio, had pleaded guilty on September 18 to aggravated vehicular homicide and driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol at the time of the wrong-way highway crash that killed Vincent Canzani, 61, in June.

He had faced up to 8-1/2 years in prison at his sentencing before Franklin County Judge David Fais.
