Somerset Man Sentenced To 20 Years

{Kentucky}...Twenty-seven year old Brett Whitaker of Somerset has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for his role in a head-on crash that killed John and Lavada Roland, a Berea pastor and his wife, last year. Whitaker pleaded guilty last month to two counts of wanton murder. He admitted he was drunk in July 2010 when he hit and killed the couple on U.S. 27 in Lincoln County. Whitaker was already on probation for an assault charge out of Richmond at the time.
