I personally think it is excessive, as drunk drivers who kill children get less time. I am also bias because I’m married to a truck driver.

I agree with KT. Drunk drivers, even celebrities, have been charged way less. I don’t agree with this sentencing. Was he driving recklessly? Probably. Was it intentional? I doubt it. 110 years is unnecessary for this. A lot of people don’t show any regret to their actions and his picture says a thousand words. Even the judge disagrees with the sentencing.

Just read up on this. The judge said he wouldn't have sentenced him that long if he had a choice but he had to under mandatory sentencing laws. I hope he can appeal and receive a shorter sentence. I don't agree with his sentence at all. It sounds like an incredibly tragic accident. There are people who intentionally kill and destroy lives who are serving much shorter sentences

Based on what I read, this seems wildly excessive. It was an awful thing, and he definitely made some bad choices and should be held responsible, but this man’s sentence is light years harsher than people who’ve committed violent, pre meditated murders and rapes!

This is so sad. Murders get 25 years after intentionally killing people.

this is actually my friend’s brother. i feel so bad for what they’re all going through right now. this punishment is definitely excessive.

This is excessive in so many ways. What are they doing to the corporation that should be ensuring the brakes worked properly? & done of the charges against him are ridiculous & unnecessary. He wasn't attempting to hurt anyone. Even the judge doesn't agree with it. I hope he wins his appeal. They can't even pass laws to stop school shootings, but let's sentence this poor minority man to die in prison.

"Aguilera-Mederos was found guilty in October and convicted on vehicular homicide and 23 other charges, according to Colorado's First Judicial District Attorney's Office. The other 23 charges include six counts of assault in the first degree -- extreme indifference; 10 counts of attempt to commit assault in the first degree -- extreme indifference; two counts of vehicular assault -- reckless; one count of reckless driving; and four counts of careless driving causing death." What is with all these charges? I've never heard of anyone being charged with so much for a motor vehicle accident. He knew the trailer brakes weren't working. Yes. He is guilty and deserves to face the consequences. Every truck driver knows to do a pre-tip inspection. Every truck driver knows not to drive a truck without brakes. This is why they have to have a special license. But assault? Attempts to commit assault? Extreme indifference? Ok, maybe one charge. Maybe. But charging him with it, then also charging him 10 attempts? Very strange. This is crazy excessive. I hope he can appeal it soon.

apparently his brakes went out. to which, if anyones to blame, it’s the company. this is why i hate the criminal justice system. so often, because of bs “technicalities” people who are no threat to society, who genuinely had no intention of causing harm, are sentenced to excessive prison time. it’s completely inhumane. whereas, people who drink drive and kill people get a fraction of his sentence. it’s vile. i truly hope this decision can be appealed. he doesn’t deserve prison time at all
