‘American Idol’s Caleb Kennedy was sentenced to eight years in prison for his fatal DUI crash in 2022. Caleb, who was 17 at the time, was using a marijuana vape pen while driving on a private road, when he struck and killed a South Carolina resident. Caleb competed in season 19 of the music competition series, making it to the top five before he dropped out in the wake of a different controversy: a Snapchat video reportedly showed Caleb with a friend who was wearing a hood that resembled those worn by the Ku Klux Klan.
