The governor has the power to grant clemency or cummute his sentence to time served. I vote time served.
Sounds good to me.

Are you also going to send a bouquet of dandelions to the graves of the victims ???
Why do you think 110 year sentence for losing one's brakes down a mountain is justified?
It is far more than that.
Far more? Was he a Democrat?
Yeah ... AND an illegal ... so no difference.

King said in the statement that her office initiated plea negotiations "but Mr. Aguilera-Mederos declined to consider anything other than a traffic ticket."

There should be no conviction at all for an actual accident that didn't involve gross criminal negligence.
Shit happens, and everybody eventually dies of or from something.
Colorado. There but for the grace of God....
Should people who give someone covid by not masking and not vaxxing go to prison if the person who gets covid dies?
Question: How do you know those who want the sentence commuted are Leftists?
Because they vote for DAs who don't believe in prosecuting at all.

Methinks the dead would say ... FOREVER
WHY DOES EVERYONE FORGET THE VICTIMS ... I KNOW ... BECAUSE THEY'RE DEAD AND CAN'T SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.
If the only option is 110 years or time served, unfortunately I'd say 110 years. 110 years is too long, but time served (2 years) is way too short. He killed 4 people and as the judge said: "I accept and respect what the defendant has said ... but he made a series of terrible decisions — reckless decisions," the judge said.
Also, apparently he had a chance to make plea deal with prosecutors and chose to roll the dice.

Time served is way too short. Truck drivers are held to a higher standard than automobile drivers for good reason. He made "a series of reckles decisions" while piloting a 30,000 pound instrument of death. It's unfortunate that he has to get what amounts to a life sentence, but 2 years is not even close to justice.
