Guest Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Trucker sentenced to 110 years in prison for fiery 28-car pileup crash that killed 4 WWW.MERCURYNEWS.COM Rogel Aguilera-Mederos, 26, lost his brakes in Colorado’s high country and failed to take a runaway truck ramp before he rammed his speeding semi into stopped traffic. Clearly the guy is at fault for the deaths as he had opportunities to use the runaway ramps but didn’t. But 110 years is just insanity.

Yeah, that was crazy to me that he didn't at least get concurrent sentences or something. Even the judge was basically like "you don't deserve to spend the rest of your life in prison, but..." Was it a mandatory minimum thing or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Air_Delivery Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Insane. He made a poor decision in the heat of the moment. He should get 5 years max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Maybe this only seems overly harsh because murdering someone with a motor vehicle is normally a get out of jail free card. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A combination of mandatory minimums combined with a mandatory consecutive sentence as opposed to concurrent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaxick Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Gotta love laws that punish people for lesser crimes than those who committed more serious ones. He absolutely deserves punishment for his error in judgement, not steering into a runaway ramp, but a mistake like that should not justify he be locked away for the rest of his natural life.
