A man who backed his motor home into his girlfriend, then drove off dragging her underneath the vehicle, was sentenced today to 70 years to life in prison and a determinate sentence of 11 years.
Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Troy Nunley sentenced Darryl Keith Alexander, 41, for the second-degree murder of Ginger Ball, 56. Ball was killed July 30, 2010.
Alexander stopped the motor home when he heard bystanders screaming, according to a Sacramento County District Attorney's Office news release.
He got out of the vehicle and saw that his girlfriend's leg had been partially severed by the initial collision. He then left her body underneath the motor home in the middle of the street, got back in the vehicle and fled. In doing so, he rolled over his girlfriend again, ultimately killing her, officials said.
A good Samaritan followed Alexander and called 911. Alexander was subsequently apprehended by Sacramento police officers.
Officials said Alexander's blood alcohol level was 0.19 percent - more than twice the legal limit - two hours after the incident.
