THE man who shouted "Sue me if you dare, my father is Li Gang" after killing a young woman with his car on a north China university campus has been sentenced to six years in jail.
Li Qiming, 23, had pled guilty to drunk driving and vehicular manslaughter, the People's Court in Wangdu County said in a statement yesterday.
Li appeared in court last Wednesday, more than three months after he hit two college girls, killing one and injuring the other, on the Hebei University campus on the evening of October 16.
Li did not say if he would appeal the court's sentence.
The court said Li had received leniency because he had confessed to his crimes and his family had reconciled with the victims' families through compensation.
Li's parents have paid 460,000 yuan (US$69,880) to the family of Chen Xiaofeng, 20.
The other victim, 20-year-old Zhang Jingjing who suffered a broken leg, has received 91,000 yuan in compensation.
In court, Li's lawyer Zhang Jinlong, had petitioned for a lighter sentence of three years with a reprieve.
Li Qiming gained nationwide notoriety over his comment about his father.
Li Gang was deputy chief of the public security bureau in Baoding City's Beishi district, where the university is located.
"My father is Li Gang" became infamous as a catchphrase which was used by many Internet users in classical poetry, jokes and doggerel to vent their fury over the behavior of the privileged and the children of power and wealth.
