..."The truck driver who caused the crash that killed 4 and whose sentence of 110 years behind bars motivated more than 5 million people, including Kim Kardashian, to get behind his cause has been granted clemency by Colorado's Governor ... and his sentence has been reduced to 10 years.
Rogel Aguilera-Mederos was driving an 18-wheeler in 2019 when the truck's brakes failed, causing the horrific pileup crash. His 110 year sentence was mandatory, but caused public outcry from those who felt it was harsh and unfair given the whole thing was an accident."...

The sentence is more reasonable, but if the Driver was not responsible for the brakes failing on the Vehicle he was driving then He should not have even been charged... However, if He was totally responsible for failing to have the brakes repaired then the sentence is warranted, but not the 110 Years originally issued... Just saying!

He was running at about 85 MPH, slamming on the brakes at that speed could cause failure. In addition, he passed an emergency exit and ran into a traffic jam. No effort to avoid the crash. Four deaths and numerous injuries. Agree 110 years too much, but 10 years is a travesty of Justice for those injured and families whose family members of those that died.
