Man Gets 50 Years for Daughters’ Deaths
A man who killed his two daughters in a drunk driving crash has been sentenced to 50 years in prison.
David Dean Goff, 45, was sentenced Thursday in Amador Superior Court on two charges of assault resulting in the death of a child under 8 years old, said Vern Pierson, chief assistant district attorney.
After drinking heavily on Jan. 6, 2002, Goff drove his pickup truck off California 49 and into a large oak tree near Plymouth. His two daughters, 23-month-old Lena Nadine Goff and 3-year-old Melia Marie Goff, were killed.
