A Broward County man faces two charges of DUI manslaughter after he allegedly ran a stop sign while under the influence of alcohol. He crashed with another resulting in the crash with another vehicle. The driver submitted a breath test with a blood alcohol content of .11.
The crash occurred at the intersection of SW Second Avenue and West Dixie Highway. The victim of the crash, 54 year old David Rose, later died from his injuries six days later at a hospital in Hollywood, Florida. The death of the victim influenced the DUI charges pending against the driver.
Officers arrested and charged the defendant, 28 year old Robert Marsicano, with two counts of DUI manslaughter. The first count is based on Marsicano allegedly driving while under the influence of alcohol. The second count is based on allegations of the defendant possessing illegal blood alcohol content.
Florida considers the charge of DUI manslaughter a second degree felony. This sentence carries a maximum penalty of 15 years behind bars for each count. Marsicano faces a maximum combined sentence of 30 years in prison if convicted.
