Vermont father pleads guilty to manslaughter in drowning death of 2-year-old son after allegedly fleeing DUI crash

A Vermont man pleaded guilty Monday to three charges including manslaughter in the death of his 2-year-old son, who police say fell into a fast-moving stream as his father fled the scene of a car crash in Massachusetts last April.

Darel Galorenzo, of Readsboro, Vermont, was sentenced to nine to 15 years in prison on the manslaughter charge, far exceeding the state's sentencing guideline of three years.

He was also sentenced to 2 1/2 years for operating under the influence of liquor and operating under the influence while endangering a child, to be served concurrently with the manslaughter sentence.
