Kristina Quercetti, of Landenberg, pleaded guilty last week to vehicular homicide while DUI and endangering the welfare of a child. The charges stem from a March 27 accident, which took the life of rookie state trooper Kenton E. Iwaniec. Judge Nagle will sentence Quercetti Jan. 12.

First Assistant District Attorney Patrick Carmody, who is prosecuting the case, told Nagle that he would be seeking a maximum sentence of 11 to 22 years in state prison for the crimes. The charge of homicide by vehicle while DUI carries with it a mandatory minimum sentence of three years in person.
