Drunken driver given 25 years for second fatal crash
Edward W. Lewis, 38, of Whitewater, was sentenced by Harvey County Judge Theodore Ice to more than 25 years for involuntary manslaughter in the December death of 17 year old Karrie McCormick. Lewis previously faced a 1986 vehicular homicide conviction for a Franklin County crash that killed two men, with blood alcohol at 0.2457 percent after the Harvey County crash. The sentence exceeds state guidelines, justified by Lewis's refusal to control alcohol and drugs.
