YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Navy officer Lt. Ridge Alkonis was jailed in Japan over a deadly car crash and is now in United States custody. He had been serving a three-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to the negligent driving deaths of an elderly woman and her son-in-law in May 2021. While he argued he suffered from loss of consciousness due to the altitude, the Japanese court found him to be negligent. Brittany Alkonis, the officer's wife, joins "NewsNation Prime" with the latest on her husband's case, urging President Joe Biden to commute his sentence.
