On November 28th, Sytch was sentenced to 17 years in prison, with an additional eight years of probation. Her attorneys had mentioned the intent to file an appeal for a reduced sentence, but no request has been recorded. Sytch’s legal troubles stem from a traffic incident in March 2022, which resulted in the death of Julian Lasseter.

In August, Sytch entered a plea of nolo contendere in Florida regarding the charges, initially pleading not guilty but later changing her plea. This plea meant accepting conviction without admitting fault or guilt. The misdemeanor sentence was considered to be served concurrently with the top charges against her.
