Manatee State Attorney Art Brown said the plea agreement was reached after extensive consultation with the victims.
Jack Kelley was the 19-year-old injured in the hit-and-run crash. His father, Michael, said the state could have gone to the max because they had a "bullet proof case" but his son agreed to a plea deal.
When asked, Jack Kelley said he didn't feel like pursing the case any more than was necessary.
"Its a tough call. I am forgiving. He (Brock) is still a human being regardless," said Jack.
