The 48-year-old man who raised questions across the country by adopting his 42-year-old girlfriend to protect his fortune after a deadly DUI accident, is due in court next month facing both lengthy jail time and a multi-million dollar compensation settlement, and RadarOnline.com has exclusive details on his legal troubles.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, John Goodman was involved in a fatal car accident in Palm Beach, Florida in February 2010 that led to the death of 23-year-old engineering student, Scott Wilson.

In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, the attorney for the victim’s family has branded Goodman’s questionable actions “sad” and says, not surprisingly, that the family is “devastated” by their loss.
