A jury in Allentown, Pennsylvania has recently awarded the parents of a dance teacher $3.1 million dollars for a dance teacher's death as a result of a 2006 drunk driving accident.
The jury ordered the defendant, a 30 year-old-man, to pay $1.1 million in compensatory damages and $2 million in punitive damages.
The man had pled guilty in an earlier criminal case to homicide by vehicle while drunk driving and was sentenced to a minimum of 5 and a half years in prison.
