Coban Porter, the younger brother of Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr., was sentenced to six years in prison for a fatal DUI crash last year.
Former University of Denver basketball player Coban Porter, the younger brother of Denver Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr., was sentenced Friday to six years in prison for killing a 42-year-old woman in a drunken driving crash last year. Denver District Court Judge Ericka Englert told Porter, 'Do what you can to use this opportunity to educate others' about the dangers of driving drunk. 'All I can really say is, ‘I’m sorry,’' Porter said in court.
Coban Porter had pleaded guilty to DUI vehicular homicide and vehicular assault in the crash that killed Kathy Rothman on Jan. 22, 2023. Family members said Rothman, the mother of a now-5-year-old boy, was driving for Uber at the time of the crash. As part of his plea agreement, Porter acknowledged he was driving drunk at 2 a.m. when he ran a red light near the university and crashed into Rothman's car, killing her and seriously injuring her 47-year-old passenger, Jason Branch.
