A 27-year-old man has pleaded guilty to quickly downing 10 shots of tequila at downtown Minneapolis bars before driving the wrong way on an interstate and causing a collision that killed two people in another vehicle.
Quoc Tran, of Osseo, entered his plea last week in Hennepin County District Court to two counts of criminal vehicular homicide. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 30; a jury trial had been scheduled to start Monday.
Prosecutors said they will seek an eight-year sentence for Tran. If Judge William Koch goes with that recommendation, Tran would receive credit for time already spent in jail before serving about five years in prison and the balance on supervised release. The defense said it would seek a lesser sentence.
