JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Aug. 28, 2015) – Robert Nathaniel Brown, 30, was sentenced Friday to a total of 20 years in prison for one count of Driving Under the Influence Manslaughter and two counts of Driving Under the Influence with Serious Bodily Injury. Brown was convicted of these charges in July.

In July 2013, Brown was intoxicated and driving northbound in the southbound lanes of I-295 near Wilson Street, when he struck the victim’s vehicle head on. Inside the other vehicle were three occupants, including 35-year-old Jerome Cason Jr., who was killed. The other two victims sustained serious injuries, and have recovered.

Assistant State Attorneys Frank Gaulden and Julie Taylor prosecuted this case.
