On October 6, 2014, following his conviction by a jury, English was sentenced to 40 years in prison on reduced charges of two counts of aggravated assault causing bodily injury and one count of manslaughter following a plea bargain deal. A fine of $5000 was also assessed on the manslaughter case only. Sentences will run concurrently.

English was originally charged with two counts of intoxication assault with vehicle causing seriously bodily injury and one count of intoxication manslaughter with vehicle following a head on accident while possibly engaging in a sex act with his girlfriend who died in the accident.

The prosecutor in this case was Lauren Cook. English was defended by Taryn Davis. This is the second intoxication manslaughter case to be reduced in two weeks in Kaufman County, the first being Robert Lee Arney.
