Families of 25-year-old men killed by drunk driver last October applaud guilty verdict

Justice is served. That’s the message from the family of one of the men who died after being hit by a drunk driver while driving motorcycles last October. In a Jacksonville courtroom on Friday, Diego Hernandez Martinez, 45, was sentenced to 25 years in prison. He also currently has an ICE hold and will be deported after his sentence.  “We can’t bring Gabe back, but we definitely got justice today,” said Belinda DiSpirito, mother of victim Gabe DiSpirito. “We weren’t expecting up to 25 years, but hearing that result made everybody feel a little comfort.”
