Probation Violation Puts Florida Crash Suspect On Fast Track To Potential Life Sentence

A Florida judge ruled Nov. 9 that Marquavious T. Wheaton violated probation from a 2019 armed-robbery conviction by causing a July crash that killed brothers Christopher and Tyler Marier. Prosecutors will seek the maximum penalty, potentially life in prison, at a Dec. 8 resentencing hearing. Wheaton also faces a separate trial on two second-degree murder charges over the high-speed collision in Casselberry.
