Additionally, he was seen driving recklessly and speeding before his brakes supposedly gave out and he testified that he wasn’t “brave enough” to use the SEVERAL emergency off ramps he sped by and instead CHOSE to pass them by and crash into heavy traffic. That is an INTENTIONAL ACT. I’m a retired colorado police officer and currently a freight train conductor. In Colorado multiple sentences are required to be served concurrently, it’s the law. He got 20 years for each person he killed who burned alive trapped in their cars. I have no pity for him and no one else should either.
Not to mention he was a licensed CDL driver which means he was REQUIRED to be able to read traffic signs in English and he must be able to since he passed his written CDL AND he wasn’t mountain certified, which he is supposed to be in Colorado AND he’s responsible for his pre-trip inspection and if the truck had problems it’s his responsibility to refuse to take the truck.
No one should pity this guy. No one.

December 23, 2021 at 11:25 amHe tried to claim he couldn’t read the traffic signs because they were in English, but he passed the written CDL test which requires that you be able to read all traffic signs and directions in English. Sorry, but he’s got no excuse.
