Ace Vue will spend the next 30 years in prison for driving the wrong way on I-43 while under the influence of alcohol, killing an Oostburg couple.Judge Sandy Williams imposed the 30-year sentence longer than what prosecutors ha d requested following an approximately 90-minute hearing at the Ozaukee County Courthouse.During the hearing, prosecutors played the full seven-minute video of Vue driving the wrong way on I-43 under the influence of alcohol, showing the danger he posed to the public and the numerous near misses with other vehicles.Watch: Man convicted in wrong-way I-43 crash that killed Oostburg couple sentenced to 30 years in prison Man convicted in wrong-way I-43 crash that killed Oostburg couple sentenced to 30 years in prisonFamily members of Jay and Nicole Horne, including their niece Cassandra Horne, delivered emotional victim impact statements, addressing Vue directly from the podium about the pain he caused them."If I just take a brief moment of silence, you will feel intensely how the air will cut you here and the energy towards you," Cassandra Horne said. "And I hope your days ahead of you echo in this silence."Cassandra told the court about how she comforted Jay and Nicole's daughter, who was critically injured in the crash, but survived."I saw her cry for her mom and dad," Cassandra Horne said. "Her nightmare wasn't just when she was sleeping. It was actually her real life." Vue offered an apology to the family in his own statement, taking responsibility for his actions."My choices and decisions caused two innocent individuals to lose their lives, and that truth will sting me any longer than any sentence this court could give me," Vue said. "I would like to apologize. It's a long overdue apology. I am deeply sorry for what I've done. I was intoxicated and should never been behind the wheel that night."Judge Williams said the apology could never replace the lives Vue took with what she described as the "staggering recklessness" of his actions.A family member tells TMJ4 the sentence was ultimately a fair one.This story was reported on-air by a journalist and has been converted to this platform with the assistance of AI. Our editorial team verifies all reporting on all platforms for fairness and accuracy.Its about time to watch on your time.
