A Florida man who killed two women after a high-speed car crash in 2022 was sentenced to decades behind bars after taking a plea deal.

Jacob Manuel, 25, accepted a plea deal and was sentenced on Tuesday to 40 years at the Florida Department of Corrections, according to a release from the Florida State’s Attorney’s Office. The family of the two women killed in the crash, Tallullah Ellis, 78, and Tammy Hughes, 57, were supportive of the plea and were also present during the sentencing. Manuel could have faced a life sentence if he had gone to trial and been convicted.
