American Idol's Caleb Kennedy Sentenced to 8 Years in Prison for Fatal DUI Crash

American Idol's Caleb Kennedy has been sentenced to eight years in prison for his fatal DUI accident in 2022, according to multiple reports. Caleb, who was 17 at the time, was using a marijuana vape pen while driving on a private road, when he hit and killed a South Carolina resident. Caleb competed in the 19th season of the music competition series, making it to the top five before exiting after a separate controversy: a Snapchat video reportedly showed Caleb with a friend who was wearing a hood similar to the one worn by Ku. Klux Klan.
