Palm Beach County, FL (CNN) - Florida millionaire John Goodman was sentenced Friday to 16 years in prison, after a judge denied a motion for a new trial.

Goodman was convicted of the drunken car crash that killed 23-year-old Scott Wilson in 2010.

The judge said Goodman was heartless, leaving the scene after sending Wilson's car into the ditch where he drowned.

In court, Goodman was remorseful.

"I can't imagine or even pretend to imagine what it would be like to lose a son and every day I feel like I carry Scott Patrick Wilson in my with me every day and that's all I think about going forward because I know that I have to do good and be a better person and carry on whatever I can you know and do good for him. His short life I just can't imagine what they must go through," said Goodman.

Goodman was granted a $7 million bond pending his appeal.

He'll be placed under house arrest and monitored 24 hours a day with a GPS device.
