A St. Petersburg woman convicted in a DUI crash that killed her passenger and a motorcyclist will serve 25 years in prison.

A Pinellas judge on Friday sentenced Shanquia Zaneta Holte to 28 years in state prison, followed by two years of probation, closing an investigation into the fatal crash that occurred more than three years ago.

Holte has spent those three years in jail awaiting trial and will get credit for time served as part of her sentencing.

During Friday’s hearing, prosecutors presented autopsy photos, recorded interviews and jail calls to argue that Holte should receive a sentence of 40 years.
