Your Opinion On The Colorado Trucker

Even the judge said it wasn't fair but it was the law. The only reason it's so high is every count is to be served consecutively.

that is correct, it was the law...and in my opinion, that judge is (to me) a good old fashion "hanging judge", and we need more like him.

rather than those namby-pamby slap on the wrist snowflake judges.

 

Except the judge gave him as light of a slap the law would allow. Or did you miss the point he gave out the minimum sentence he was allowed to on all charges. And the charges that were allowed, he has them run concurrently. (I think it was a total of 10 years he got that can be concurrent, but I may be remembering the exact number wrong.)

 

Apparently not.

I stand corrected - thanks.

 

They are not accidents, but crashes or wrecks that simple. I seen a woman on a video earlier talking about it was an accident due to brake failure. Clueless really is what she is.

In the end we are professionals and held to a higher standard. Suck as it may that’s just how it is. He protected his life to the end to hell with the others........Not how a professional driver handles things. He had other choices before it got that bad. Sure they came with consequences which is why I think he didn’t take them. He was hoping to drive it out of it. No one can really ever be sure of what he was thinking or his actual comprehension level with the English language. Negligence is just that whether it’s from chemical impairment, not understanding road signs, poor maintenance, or lack of training. In the end it has the same meaning......not caring enough or taking the job serious enough. Harsh I know, but what if it had been your family involved?

 

110 years is NOT fair. It's not justice. He deserves punishment for those careless, reckless decisions he made. His sentence must be lower than murderers, serial killers, serial rapists.

Justice and Vengeance are different

 

No not 110..he deserves some punishment but not like that..

 

The red X is where the crash occurred, the black circled area is the C470 interchange, instead of praying, he could have taken any of the 3 ramps, yes, it would have been a fatal for him, the blue arrow is the ramp to US 6 (6th Ave), the next 2 miles are partially uphill and could have helped to slow him, the ramp to US 6 is shallow enough he might have kept it upright, but even if he lost control, he would only taken out himself and dumped his load.
