Tammy Sytch Attends Pre-Trial Hearing In DUI Manslaughter Case, Next Court Date Set

WWE Hall of Famer Tammy Sytch, also known as Sunny, was arrested in May 2022 after toxicology reports revealed that her blood alcohol level was well above the legal limit during her involvement in a car accident that resulted in the death of 75-year-old Julian Lasseter in Ormond Beach, Florida.

On Thursday, Sytch appeared for a pre-trial hearing on the charges of DUI manslaughter and more against her.

The Honorable Court ordered Sytch to submit a DNA swab of her cheek that was taken on March 3rd and her next court date is scheduled for August 16th. Next week’s hearing will be a reading of the docket and will require Sytch to inform the court whether she is prepared to go to trial and if she would like to opt for a plea deal.

Sytch is facing one count of DUI manslaughter (a third-degree felony), one count of causing death while operating a vehicle with a suspended or revoked driver’s license (a third-degree felony), four counts of DUI causing injury to a person, and three counts of DUI causing damage to property.

Several witnesses are set to be deposed next month and the court will make a decision soon on whether video testimony will be allowed for the trial.

In addition to the previously-reported civil suit filed by Lasseter’s daughter, there is apparently another lawsuit filed against Sytch related to the accident, which has reportedly been brought by another party who was injured. The details on that lawsuit are unknown at this time.
