SNOW HILL — A Berlin man, convicted of homicide by motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs after a fatal collision on Route 589 near Ocean Pines in December 2018, was sentenced last week to 10 years with all but four suspended.
Bryan Wersten, 32, was convicted in February of homicide by motor vehicle while under the influence of controlled dangerous substances and sentencing was deferred. Wersten was the driver of a vehicle that collided with a utility police on Route 589 near Beauchamp Road on December 17, 2018 that claimed the life of his passenger, identified as Michael Hernandez, also of Berlin.
Back in court last week, Wersten was sentenced to 10 years in jail, all but four of which was suspended. He was also placed on supervised probation for five years following his release. Prior to sentencing, prosecutors filed notice with the court which increased the penalty to the maximum 10 years of incarceration due to Wersten’s prior conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol.

A black man with a nonviolent drug charge would have received a longer sentence.....systemic racism.
This crook should have been thrown in DOC a long time ago, horrible history.
Are you just saying that or do you have specific statistics? It's a fact most drug dealers are black and receive deserved long sentences. It's the career they chose. Not racism.
"A black man with a nonviolent drug charge would have received a longer sentence..."
And you know this because...?
Oh please..don't. show your ignorance.. you have No idea about the circumstances, history, etc. of the case... racism is so bad, the left has to MAKE UP "racist hate crimes".
3:42, why, how much time did you do ?
You just made a complete jackass out of yourself. You are basically defending someone convicted for selling drugs just because they are black? You really would have been better off not commenting.
