Charles Meininger, 17, was sentenced on Friday for his crime, but he did something extraordinary before heading to prison. He owned his mistakes and apologized to the victim’s family directly.
He was a bodybuilder with dreams to help others, but last October, 20-year-old Michael Hoerig was killed after deputies say 17-year-old Charles Meininger slammed into his driver's side door going more than 100 miles per hour.
A 17-year-old is facing vehicular homicide and illegal street racing charges after authorities say he was responsible for causing a deadly crash in Lutz, Florida.
