Over 4 Million People Sign a Petition to Reduce a Trucker’s 110-Year Prison Sentence
Over four million people have signed a petition asking for a truck driver’s 110-year prison sentence to be shortened following his conviction over a fatal accident.
Rogel Aguilera-Mederos was driving a truck that crashed into several cars and killed four people in Colorado in 2019.
The petition, posted on Change.org, calls on Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) to grant the driver “clemency or commutation-as time served,” noting that the then-23-year-old had nothing on his driving record and no criminal history.
