    The next of kin seem to be more forgiving than you do. "One family member of a man who died in the fiery 28-car pileup in Lakewood said he did not want a life sentence for the truck driver."

    Beginning to sound like a Hollywood soap opera, so much so, Kim Kardashian, self appointed "High and Mighty",,, who apparently is studying law,,as if she doesn't have enough GD money, after Hollywood, I suppose a lawyer would be the next logical step, has joined the millions in trying to overturn the conviction. I swear, these Hollywood celebrities truly believe the world revolves around them.

    Most of the better than thou in Hollywood love any media attention good or bad--- it keeps them in the publics eye--- if theres a minority to save its even better.

    The sentence seems fair to me. Lets see--- 25 years for each person he murdered--- 100 years--- the extra 10 is fine for just be'in stupid I guess.

    I started with trucks 40 some years ago when drivers were proud, honorable and had morals. Its probably just me--- but I cant imagine not do'in the Big John thing and drive'in into all that stopped traffic without turn'in my wheels. Yep--- he deserves the extra 10 for be'in stupid.

    If he was a white guy born and raised here the sentence wouldn’t be enough.
