WWE Hall Of Famer Tammy Sytch Seeking To Have Her Prison Sentence Reduced

-- WWE Hall of Famer Tammy "Sunny" Sytch is currently in jail, serving a 17-year sentence for a host of charges, the most serious of which was DUI causing death, a manslaughter charge of the third degree. Court records show that Sytch wrote a letter earlier this month to the judge who presided over her case asking for some leniency in her sentence. In the letter (below), Sytch is asking for the charges to be served concurrently rather than consecutively, which would reduce the amount of time she would be behind bars. Sytch's current release date from prison is scheduled to be in the latter half of 2039. She would be almost 67 years old at that time.

-- Sytch had previously plead no contest to a March 2022 car accident which caused the death of Julian Lasseter. Sytch had an unsealed bottle of vodka in her vehicle and cannabis in her system when she was arrested following the accident. Sytch did not possess a legal driver's license at the time of the crash and had been arrested multiple times in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey in previous auto-related incidents.

Honorable Judge Foxman,

During my incarceration at Lowell Correctional Institusetion, I have been attempting to make the most of my time, by reflecting upon my crime, while also striving to be a positive influence on other inmates.

To that end, I have recently graduated from the Culinary Arts program, with a certificate in Culinary Arts, which also includes ServSafe certification. Most recently, I have become a Teacher's Aid in one of the GED classrooms. Helping others to realize their academic potential, and earn their GED is something I have found to be very fulfilling. Additionally, I have been chosen by Dr. Kuehl, the Director of Education at the prison, to speak with the Youthful Offender inmates as a "voice of reason." He has asked me to do a series of lectures and discussions with these young ladies about how prison has helped me gain a new life perspective, and about the importance of not re-offending once they leave prison.

Beyond my education and vocational achievements, I am also regularly attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and am being seen regularly for mental health counseling sessions.

I have also begun making plans for my life after release from prison. My former business attorney, Stephen P. New, has offered me a job in his office as a Paralegal, and has also offered me free housing while I am getting on my feet. I have been inspired by the idea of working with the Youthful Offenders while I am here, and I would like to continue to mentor youths once I am free. Therefore, I plan to visit high schools to talk about the dangers and consequences of drinking and driving, in hopes of helping the students to make better choices that I have.

I am extremely remorseful, as my actions led to a loss of life, and grief for my victim's family and friends. I am dedicated to changing my life for the better, and to being a positive light in any community in which I live. I desire to serve others in any way possible, and in particular will strive to help young people avoid alcohol and destructive decision making.

I pray this Honorable Court will grant me grace and mercy in their consideration of this request to modify my sentence by running the incarcerative portions of my sentence on Count 1 and 2 concurrent, or issue whatever relief this Court deems appropriate.

WHEREFORE, Defendant prays this Honorable Court will grant this Motion for Modification of Sentence and grant whatever relief this Court deems appropriate.
