Judge sentences teen to attend church
An Oklahoma teenager whose drunk driving led to the death of a friend has been sentenced to attend church for 10 years. Tyler Alred, 17, pleaded guilty to manslaughter after the crash that killed his passenger, John Dum. The judge set church attendance as a condition for Alred to avoid prison. “My client goes to church every Sunday,” said Alred’s lawyer. “That isn’t going to be a problem.”
