Truck driver Rogel Aguilera-Mederos got a reduced sentence from 110 years to 10 years, following a widespread outcry in the U.S. which included more than five million people signing a petition to reduce his sentence, including TV star and law student Kim Kardashian. Aguilera-Mederos would be eligible to apply for parole in five years.
Aguilera-Mederos crashed into traffic in 2019, killing four people in Colorado. In a trial, he was convicted on 27 counts, including vehicular homicide, and the judge said state law forced him to impose the sentence due to the minimum sentencing laws.
