Juror In The Case of Truck Driver Sentenced To 110 Years In Prison Says Its 'Not Right'
A juror who helped convict a Texas trucker for a deadly Colorado crash says his 110-jail sentence is 'not right,' as a petition for clemency surpasses 4.5 million signatures.
Rogel Aguilera-Mederos, 26, was driving a semi-truck on April 25, 2019, along Interstate 70 in Lakewood, Colorado, when he slammed into two dozen vehicles - including four other transports stuck in rush-hour traffic.
The impact caused a fireball explosion that incinerated cars and trucks, killing four people.
He was sentenced last week on 27 criminal charges and his harsh sentence drew criticism among millions of people - including a juror who found him guilty.
'I cried my eyes out,' the juror, who remained anonymous, told FOX31 regarding the sentence given to Aguilera-Mederos.
