Ex-officer gets 3-12 months in jail for drag racing death

AP News

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A former Philadelphia police officer was ordered to serve 3 to 12 months in county jail for killing a man while drag racing with another officer two years ago.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports Adam Soto fought back tears Friday while begging for forgiveness from the victim’s family during his sentencing.  

Soto, who was fired shortly after the Jan. 31, 2017, crash, pleaded guilty in October to a felony charge of homicide by vehicle and a misdemeanor charge of involuntary manslaughter.

Authorities say Soto was speeding near a high school when he hit 50-year-old Daniel Dimitri.

Soto was granted work release to be able to provide for his wife and 2-month-old child, meaning he can leave jail to work. The judge ordered Soto to turn himself in Feb. 8 to begin serving his sentence.

  1. “Soto was granted work release to be able to provide for his wife and 2-month-old child, ”
    WHILE A PREGNANT FRIEND OF MINE DID 6 MONTHS FOR NO CAR INSURANCE…………..

  2. “Soto was granted work release to be able to provide for his wife and 2-month-old child, meaning he can leave jail to work.”

    Blue privilege at its finest. The gestapo thugs don’t give a rat’s backside about what happens to the families of the people they kill for their own personal jollies, nor the ones they falsely arrest resulting in lost jobs, homes, etc. Oh, and let us not forget those they steal from through the crime of “civil forfeiture”.

  3. anyone else would be probably doing a minimum of 7-10

    and they are pissed that we are paying attention and worried that they might get exposed as to the double standard

    you punks aint no where near paid on your debt
