Roger Avary, Oscar-winning screenwriter of movie Pulp Fiction, is sentenced to one year in jail and five years probation for vehicular manslaughter and DUI charges. Avary was the cause of a tragic car accident in January 2008, in which he was driving at 100 mph when the car sped out of control. The crash killed passenger and family friend Andreas Zini and critically injured Avary's wife, Gretchen. A $4.1 million settlement has been reached with the victim's family. Avary has taken full responsibility for his actions, saying: "It has profoundly altered me to the very core of my being."
