A truck driver has been resentenced to nearly 34 years in prison after a federal appeals court last year overturned the multiple life sentences he received for his role in America's deadliest human smuggling attempt, which resulted in the deaths of 19 illegal immigrants.

Tyrone Williams was given his new sentence of 405 months in prison during a court hearing on Monday in which prosecutors argued that despite the appeals court's ruling, the truck driver deserved to remain in prison for life for the deadly May 2003 smuggling attempt inside a sweltering tractor-trailer.

Williams, 39, had faced possible death sentences on 19 counts of transporting illegal immigrants. But a jury in 2007 decided to sentence him to life in prison without parole.

However, the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Williams was not eligible for capital punishment.
