A Florida appeals court has upheld a DUI manslaughter conviction and 16-year prison sentence for a polo mogul who killed a man while driving drunk.
The ruling came Wednesday in the case of 53-year-old John Goodman, founder of the International Polo Club.
Goodman was driving drunk when he ran a stop sign in February 2010 and rammed his black Bentley into 23-year-old Scott Patrick Wilson's car.
Wilson died after his car rolled into a canal. Goodman left the scene.
Goodman's first conviction was overturned because of juror misconduct.
The 4th District Court of Appeal did order that Goodman's conviction for vehicular homicide be vacated because of double jeopardy rules. That has no impact on his prison sentence or DUI manslaughter conviction.
