The fiery crash on West Jefferson Boulevard near Swinney Park killed Jonny Tracy, 23, and Alisa Arseneau, 24 on Feb. 20, 2017. Three others were hospitalized.
Court records show Votaw was driving a friend’s BMW when he struck Tracy’s Volkswagen Jetta. The Jetta went sideways around a curve and struck oncoming traffic. That’s when the BMW struck the Jetta again, causing the Jetta to burst into flames.
Votaw will have a sentencing on May 11.

I hope the punishment is severe. I don’t care he pleaded guilty. All that tells me is he must have made a deal with the prosecuting attorney. Hope there’s a follow up to this story on that.
