A man has been found guilty of murder after deliberately driving into Chris Marriott, a Good Samaritan, during a wedding brawl. The incident occurred when the driver, who had left a pub and ran a red light, struck Marriott, resulting in his death. The man subsequently turned himself in to the police and was sentenced in court. Outside the courtroom, the family of Lashawnda Leggett, presumably related to the victim, expressed their dissatisfaction with the sentencing, describing it as "a slap in the face." The case drew attention due to the circumstances involving a family wedding and the fatal hit-and-run.
