) - A judge Thursday sentenced a former neurosurgeon to 25 years in prison for the high-speed accident that cut short the life of a young woman who was training to be a doctor.
“I think about her, pray for her, pray for you. … No parent should have to endure what you’ve had to endure,” he said.Former Mobile County District Attorney Ashley Rich, who personally oversaw the case while in office and took it to trial even after her term ended, told the judge that prosecutors offered Nakhla a plea deal of 15 years and a day in prison if he would plead guilty to manslaughter.
The defense put the fault at the hands of a man who was turning into a motel parking lot. They argued the driver turned without signaling, leaving Nakhla with almost no time to react. Knizley sought to counter the prosecution’s characterization of Nakhla as a privileged, entitled man who cared more about his car and watch than the life of his passenger.
