MAN GETS 60 YEARS FOR RUNNING DOWN FLORIDA DEPUTY

A 20-year-old Central Florida man convicted of running down and killing an Orange County sheriff's deputy was sentenced to the maximum 60 years in prison. Allan Barahona was found guilty of manslaughter, vehicle homicide and leaving the scene of an accident in the death of Deputy Michael Callin.

Callin had parked his motorcycle on the Kirkman Road onramp to Interstate 4 and was working speeding detail when he was hit and killed last year.

Friday, Barahona apologized to Callin's family and asked for forgiveness.

The family wanted the maximum 60-year sentence. "Your Honor, I ask that when you are sentencing him, you think of me," widow Victoria Callin said. "I'm innocent but have been given a life sentence. I'm forced to serve the rest of my life without my best friend and husband by my side."

"(Barahona) showed no regard for the laws which my son gave his life to enforce," victim's mother Anna Callin said in court. "I ask that justice be done. "I don't ask this out of revenge or hatred. I have no hatred for Allan Barahona. I ask this for my daughter and husband and all the men and women who lay down their lives every day."

Barahona's family also spoke at Friday's sentencing and asked the judge to go easy on him because he was not a killer before the 60-year sentence.
