Galle, about the mishap
On January 27, 2022, Galle, the 17-year-old son of a Wellington lawyer, killed Michel Saint, 77; Marie Louis, 61; Remize Michel, 53; Vanice Percina, 29; Filaine Dieu, 46; and Mirlaine Julceus, 45, on U.S. Route 441.
At 151 mph, the 17-year-old’s BMW M5 “violently impacted” the rear of the victims’ Rogue, pushing the SUV’s rear “forward several feet into the passenger compartment,” according to a police report that PEOPLE previously acquired.
According to the Palm Beach Post, Galle would have been sentenced to at least 55 years in jail if his case proceeded to trial.
In accordance with the plea agreement, will serve seven years of probation after his jail term and have his driver’s license revoked for three years. In addition, he has to finish a 12-hour driving course, a victim impact panel, and 800 hours of community service.
Detectives observed Galle’s social media posts after an inquiry, wherein he claimed to have driven as fast as 182 mph. One of the videos had the caption, “Whoever can efficaciously wager the speed wins $25 on coins app.”
Legal action against Galle
According to reviews, he spent over $100,000 in cash for the BMW M5. As a part of his plea agreement, Circuit Judge Sherri Collins additionally mandated that he percentage a minimal one-minute social media video explaining his occasions and promoting safe driving, in keeping with the Palm Beach Post.
Galle selected to have defence lawyer Liz Parker read his statement all through his sentencing rather than speak himself.
On behalf of the families of the victims, Chief Assistant State Attorney Alan Johnson released a statement.
