A few weeks ago, the Denver District Court sentenced Coban Porter, Michael Porter’s younger brother, to six years in the Colorado Department of Corrections for a terrible crash near the University of Denver in January 2023.
During his hearing, Coban Porter testified that he was drunk when he blew a red light at the intersection of East Buchtel Boulevard and South University Boulevard, resulting in the accident that killed Katharina Rothman’s car and seriously injured one of her passengers.
In addition, Jontay Porter, another sibling, was banned from the NBA for life the same week for violating laws by giving sports bettors confidential information, limiting his attendance at games for betting purposes, and placing NBA wagers.
