DALLAS, Texas (AP) -- A judge slapped a man who played a role in a fatal road rage crash with two jail sentences and a string of restrictions meant to publicly humiliate him after jurors decided only on probation.

State District Judge Keith Dean ordered Frank Dorsett to serve two 180-day terms, drive a car with no more than 130 horsepower, carry a photo of the wreckage, take daily medication that will make him sick if he drinks alcohol and put a bumper sticker on his vehicle asking other motorists to call the probation department if he's driving recklessly.

A jury in Dorsett's manslaughter, aggravated assault and hit-and-run trial decided on probation Wednesday.

Dean then added a 180-day jail sentence. The judge added the other 180-day sentence and restrictions at a hearing Friday.

In June 2003, Dorsett, and another driver were chasing each other along Interstate 635, police said. The driver of the other pickup, Jason T. Scott, lost control and collided with the vehicle of 16-year-old Rachel Blasingame, who was killed. Scott is awaiting trial.

"We feel the terms of his probation will make up for anything the jury had taken away from us," said Rachel's father, Guy Blasingame, in Saturday editions of The Dallas Morning News.

Edit: even with a 130 Hp car he'd still probably take me at the track :reechy:

I drive on that highway every day, and that happened not far from where I live. The 16 y.o. girl was just minding her own business and got killed. Tragic...

Did I misunderstand the story or did they punish the wrong guy?
