Ben Shaw


Ben Shaw in the courtroom, wearing shackles on his ankles and wrists.Shaw, 23, and four friends had been drinking at a party on July 13 and left early that morning, intoxicated.
After driver Cody Fairbanks crashed into a sign, the passengers asked Stephan Peery to drive. He declined, and Shaw took the wheel.
Speeding nearly 30 miles over the limit, Shaw lost control of the Grand Am, hit a curb and slammed the car into a light pole at the intersection of 2230 North and University Parkway in Provo.
Peery, 20, died at the scene and passenger Ashley North, 20, died hours later at the hospital. Fairbanks, who wasn't expected to live, has now fully recovered, and Shaw and another passenger in the front seat were not seriously injured.
Laycock also added that even though everyone else in the car had been drinking, the responsibility fell on Shaw, the driver.
