The three killed in the August 2008 crash were a Phoenix man, his 20-year-old wife and the woman's half-sister.
Acosta was released from prison in January 2008 after serving a nearly four-year sentence for aggravated drunken driving.
Authorities say Acosta, driving on a suspended and revoked license, ran a red light in his pickup truck that crashed into a vehicle carrying five people.
Investigators later determined that Acosta had a blood-alcohol level of .188 -- well above the 0.08 level at which Arizona motorists are considered intoxicated.
