Shortly after the deadly crash, a person told law enforcement Galle would “record himself driving at high rates of speed” and post the videos on Instagram and TikTok, per police reports.

He reportedly paid more than $100,000 in cash for the BMW M5.

Circuit Judge Sherri Collins also ordered him to post a video on social media that was at least one minute long, detailing his situation and advocating for safe driving as part of his plea deal, per thePalm Beach Post.

Galle did not speak at his sentencing, instead choosing to have defense attorney Liz Parker read his statement for him.

Chief Assistant State Attorney Alan Johnson shared a statement on behalf of the victims’ families.

“The victims' families have written to us that they did not object to this plea. Some of them didn’t even want him to go to jail at all. One wanted us to drop the case entirely. What is the proper sentence in the case like this? No amount of prison time will bring the victims back to their families. We feel this is an appropriate resolution. This case is a tragedy,” the statement read.
