WWE Hall of Famer Tammy “Sunny” Sytch’s request to have prison sentence changed denied by judge
WWE Hall of Famer Tammy “Sunny” Sytch was charged with numerous crimes from her March 2022 car accident including DUI manslaughter in connection with the death of 75-year old Julian L. Lasseter. Florida State Attorney RJ Larizza declared Sytch to be “a danger to society.” Sytch ended up being sentenced to 17 years in prison with 8 years of probation.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Sytch submitted a letter to Judge Karen A. Foxman in an attempt to have her current sentence shortened. Foxman entered a ruling on January 14th which is as follows…
On November 27, 2023, Defendant was sentenced on the following counts: (1) DUI Cause Death Human/Unborn Child, (2) Driver w/Lic. Susp/Revoked Death/Serious Injury, (3)-(7) DUI with Damage to Person. Defendant on count 1 was sentenced to 7 years’ imprisonment (4 year minimum mandatory sentence), to be followed by 8 years of probation; count 2, Defendant was sentenced to 10.6625 years’ imprisonment, consecutive to count 1; and on counts 3-7, Defendant was sentenced to 364 days in the Sheriff of Volusia County.
In the motion, Defendant requests that the Court modify her sentence, by running concurrently the incarcerative portions of her sentence on Counts 1 and 2, or issue whatever relief the Court deems appropriate.
Defendant states that she is remorseful and while at Lowell Correctional Institution has graduated from the Culinary Arts program, that she has become a teacher’s aide in one of the GED classrooms and that she has been chosen to speak to the youthful offender inmates. Defendant also includes in her motion her housing and employment options when released. The Court acknowledges Defendant’s efforts but denies Defendant’s request.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Defendant’s pro se “Motion to Reduce/Modify Sentence” is DENIED.
Sytch is currently scheduled to be released from prison on September 13th 2039.
