Truckers Boycott Colorado After A Driver Is Sentenced To 110 Years

[Ray From Cleveland]

But not the Governor's.

The Governor can only commute the sentence or allow it to stand, not reduce it.

I left here and went to Facebook and found this article just posted.

Truck driver's sentence lowered to 10 years after originally receiving 110 years for fatal crash

Advocates called the initial punishment unusually harsh.

First too high and now way too low. This foreigner killed 4 innocent Americans.

The Governor got it about right.

Yeah, they went from one extreme to the other. It seems the entire country has lost the ability to do nuance and measured steps.

Mandatory sentencing.

The judge's hands were tied.

that is a valid issue with mandatory sentencing.

I just want to know if truckers really ARE going to boycott Colorado; they should.

There is just such a shortage of drivers; they pushed him to drive when he didn't want to.

I worked for western pacesetters in the late 80s driving diesels to oilfields. it sucked.

But while you had to keep drving logs, lying was encouraged.

Back in the 70's, meth fueled 38 hour straight runs to Detroit from the East Coast was totally insane!!

10 years IF he served every one is only 2.5 years for each life he took. I wonder how the family members feel about this.

The Governor got it about right.

"I am writing to inform you that I am granting your application for a commutation," Polis wrote. "After learning about the highly atypical and unjust sentence in your case, I am commuting your sentence to 10 years and granting you parole eligibility on December 30, 2026."

The Governor did get that right. The legislature needs to revisit its sentencing requirements.

If he had the authority to cut the sentence down it should have been to 50 years or something like that.

What do you mean, what do you mean?


Sorry, always wanted to post that.

Soooo...too scared to be clear, eh?

I agree. But 110 years sends the right message IMO.

Reduced quietly on appeal.

This guy is everything wrong with the new breed of truck driver.

I would like to see his Qualcomm messages with dispatch.

I was watching Mr. Blanding builds his dream house. That line was in the movie. It is a good movie.
