The Fourth District Court of Appeal upheld a 16-year sentence Wednesday against millionaire Wellington Polo Club founder John Goodman, who won a token victory on a double jeopardy question that doesn’t affect his prison term.
Goodman has been litigating his case since a 2010 hit-and-run crash killed Scott Patrick Wilson, 23. Goodman was accused of running a stop sign while drunk in his Bentley convertible and hitting Wilson’s car at night. Goodman didn’t call for help, and the engineering graduate drowned after his Hyundai slid into a canal.
