107 mph? Clipped the other car passing it? We see these morons every day here in Tampa, weaving in and out of traffic 30, 40 or 50 mph over the speed limit. They expose everyone in their path to injury and death.
Fools. They make me sick!! Mostly young men.
👁️👁️. A MURDERER IS A MURDERER. - A MURDERER
IS A MURDERER‼️‼️‼️
The JUDGE was an ACCOMPLICE
by issuing a 12 YEAR SSNTENCE 🤬👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
@@diannedearriel5213 what a stupid comment on every level
I agree but the woman might have lived if she chose to wear her seat belt.
@@user-oe5ey3ex8b As a 45 year insurance guy, I am still amazed at the number of people who don't considering buckling up before even turning on the ignition. Arnold once did a demonstration saying run as fast as you can at the other wall in a room and without slowing, try to prevent putting your face into the wall. Pretty hard to do. That is at maybe 8mph. Hit a car head on and that cna be a combined impact of 120 mph.
12 years? That woman had a lot more than 12 left to live, he needs to be locked up for the rest of his life.
Tht is not allowed by law
@@benjamin48th In my opinion, that law needs to be changed.
@nancyhammons3594 its a good thing your not in charge.
Nah man. People make mistakes. If this was his first time he deserves mercy. Alcohol is what should be locked away in a prison. Anyone who drinks that’s stuff is asking for trouble. Nothing good comes from drinking drugs.
@@monsterdong7520 going 107 mph isn’t a mistake bud…. Maybe speeding like a normal person 70-80 mph but 107…. You’re asking for someone to die
Zero excuses, zero sympathy!!!
He was drinking 🍸 Night Train 😂
It's crazy how the drunk drivers often survive, but the victims are seriously hurt, or lose their lives. And I understand 12 years is 12 years, but he got off kinda light after he shattered that family. I feel like 15 to 20 years should be the minimum for such reckless, senseless, dangerous behavior.
in florida its suppose to be at min 15 max life last time i checked
She was a stupid judge
They shouod get the same type of sentence as someone who commits murder 2 imo. 12 years is a joke.
This is no time for saké 🍶
Agree
12 years n a big lawsuit 😂
I agree but the woman might have lived if she chose to wear her seat belt.
@@user-oe5ey3ex8b good point.
Reckless Driving and DUI does not deserve mercy.
I'm with you! I'm a survivor of a Drunk Driver and I know, I was 18 years old at the time, I'm in my mid 60s now and I have had to have over 20 surgeries just to live so far, the guy that hit me only got 1 night in jail, I got life without parole so to speak, my life has never been the same since, before this happened, I had 2 jobs, going to school and traveling, now my life is about making it through the day. This guy has the Gul to ask for mercy, his victim didn't get mercy!
Jesus is God.
@@reneeschiavon9250 I'll take "Things That Never Happened" for $200, Alex.
Playing the victim much?
Why mock that? It works for these perpetrators and has FOR YEARS! The judges DO NOT CARE about the citizens. The defense attorneys (often court appointed) are FRIENDS with the judges. Does anything think the judiciary puts victims and their grieving families first? They don't. This sentence is yet another example that the judiciary and prosecutors are THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.
I went to court for a suspended license. I Watched the judge hand out slaps on the wrist for DUI traffic stops.
The problem is that their is no consequences until someone dies.
I think the court is obligated to leniency, because of its own history.... But i also think that they treat it to lightly if their isn't a fatality
i saw one judge give some 18year old weekend jail for like a couple hours or month on his like 4th or 5th dui
Agree
Only 12 yrs? The lady looked like in her 40’s, in the state of Florida, people live to their 80’s and 90’s.
I agree but the woman might have lived if she chose to wear her seat belt.
My best friend killed by drunk driver 20 years ago smh
Im really sorry for the lady. She was so cheerful.
So easy to get a uber or he could of had the friend who spoke up in court should of called him to come get your drunk ass😤
Agreed and it's also easy to wear a seat belt so you don't get ejected like this poor lady.
@@user-oe5ey3ex8byes let’s blame the victim for what a drunk driver did. Also where did you see she wasn’t wearing a seatbelt?
@@Bimb0spit There's literally dozens of news reports on this and she was ejected. She was not wearing her seat belt. Any insurance company or court will assign fault as a percentage in many cases depending on the actions of all involved. The odds of her survival would have been much higher if she chose to wear her seat belt. Was the initial accident her fault? Absolutely not and the guy needs to be punished but only partially for her death as the ejection part was her fault.
I had a friend years ago who died of a head injury in a motorcycle accident because he wasn't wearing his helmet. The accident wasn't his fault but the person that ran the light wasn't charged with manslaughter because he most likely would have survived if he had a helmet.
You chose to take safety risks then you're partially at fault.
Why is the defendants family giving impact statements? Killing people with your vehicle when drunk should be murder.
She wasn't wearing her seat belt.
@@user-oe5ey3ex8b Wow, if you take that belt off for 1 sec I'm t-boning you. If that's how things work.
@@user-oe5ey3ex8b Maybe her car didn't come with seat belts. D'ja ever think of THAT smarty-pants?
Recklessly did what he did but now wants leniency. What a nerve.
Actually she might have lived if she chose to wear her seat belt.
@@user-oe5ey3ex8b Don't go there.
@@user-oe5ey3ex8b Don't go there!
@@user-oe5ey3ex8b can't believe she wore her seat belt & still got thrown clear of the crash! must've been made in chiner
Everyone knows you're not supposed to be driving if you've been drinking! I see people doing this all the time. They'll be sitting around with their buddies drinking for hours, then get in their vehicles with can of beer in their hand and drive off! They're not worried about whose life or lives will be lost due to their drinking! They think they're so cool, drunk, showing off by speeding! Then they expect others to feel sorry for them when they caused someone's death?
"I see people doing this all the time".
Really..., and you do nothing?
No mercy. Its called consequences for your actions. Its called accountability. Its called being an adult. His careless, reckless and law breaking act took the life of an innocent human being. No mercy.
I agree but the woman might have lived if she chose to wear her seat belt.
@@user-oe5ey3ex8b And she would have absolutely lived had he not been driving drunk and crashed into her
I totally agree but in this world today none of that exists anymore the politicians and government bullshit made that clear. All I see today is entitlement and ignorance.
@@tonygoochafanchi578 We don't know that. She could have rolled that jeep on her own and gotten ejected. Wear your damn seat belt and quit making excuses.
I can tell he is scared of prison and no credit for time served
That judge & jury made me 🤢🤮 SMH 🤬😤🤬
He’s not that type of person? Wait…what? That’s exactly what type of person he was and is.
Not really
He needs about 20 years or more of prison time, not .ercy!
I think the consideration for the poor woman not wearing her seat belt was given.
Uber is now available. No excuses forfeit the privilege to drive . Maybe he can buy a horse
How are u taking responsibility, but pleading for mercy at the same time. Jerk
Lame. They always claim sorrow after someone dies.
My heart goes out to Jessica's loved ones. He isn't the victim. Gimme a break.🙄
He IS that kind of person, or we wouldn't be here.
You're begging the wrong one for Mercy, its Almighty you should be asking for mercy.
Actually, he begged the right person. If this "Almighty" existed, this mother probably wouldn't have lost her life.
Frank stfu you fools love blaming God! Blame the evil one who convinced this man to become a drunk…. God is not responsible for what man does with their freewill! Grow up!
Who wears a cartoon hoodie to court when trying to testify about their family member’s character? Clearly the dude didn’t care enough about his brother to get out of his pajamas.
Please wear your seatbelts. It may not guarantee you live, but will give you a better chance, please, theres idiots like him everywhere 😢
Always wear a hoodie to work. Love that
Need to bring back Death Penalty . If you do this will never happen
Florida still has the death penalty...it still hasn't deterred crime.
12 years, wtf. Take a life and get 12 years or less? Our justice system is f......ed.
I think the consideration for the poor woman not wearing her seat belt was given.
0:30 His lawyer needs some acting lessons. 🤣
I drive on the highways and roads between Sarasota and Tampa, and there are ALWAYS people driving over 100 and tailgating, and driving reckless, it’s scary and frustrating to safe drivers, and nowadays they may even pull a gun on you or be reckless on purpose, with road rage, doubt this man’s sentence will change anyone’s driving habits, wish it would though
It's best that slow people stay out of the left lane and avoid the risk of being a road rage target.
Just 12 years? What was the judge drinking??
12 years is a slap in the face to the victim, her family and friends. Life without the possibility of parole would have been a proper sentence. My condolences.
I think the consideration for the poor woman not wearing her seat belt was given.
Wow!!! Finally ONE Judge / DA whom are tough on this type of DUİ!!!
You can beg God for mercy, don't expect it from the law, or the families whose life you just destroyed!
Just what is accept full responsibility mean
Are these prosecutors going to be like the ones in Albany New York to let the four Killers walk that killed in dismembered bodies and threw them all over parks..
If he’s not that type of person then no one would be sitting in that court room for the reason you all are. And 12 years is pretty lenient if you ask me.
Tell Bubba Hi for us
He was shaken! Poor man has suffered enough. Set him free now.
troll
All of these cases should be life sentences. 12 years? Another LIBERAL judge who should be in jail, too!
TAKE CAR SERVICE. DO NOT DRINK OR SMOKE AND DRIVE! Lock him up he’s a murderer. Where is her sympathy?
Where the hell was here mercy when you took her life you deserve no mercy you deserve life without parole
Correct me, if I’m wrong on this one, but doesn’t being ejected means, that her seatbelt wasn’t fastened?
Well his victim couldn’t plead for anything… and never will be able to, he deserves WAY more time than that!!
Does 12 years actually mean 12 years or does 12 years mean 6 years? No way should he get mercy. Should even be double or triple. DUI and reckless driving must not be tolerated.
I think the consideration for the poor woman not wearing her seat belt was given.
Nah, mercy on him? If he was really remorseful, he wouldnt be asking for that.
Dear God, man. That tie was a poor choice, and if you're going to wear one make sure the knot is tight! Sloppy sloppy sloppy.
Really??? You're not funny at all!!!
@@franklinterrell9392 Thank you, it wasn't a joke.
Nope , he deserves the maximum sentence! 12 years is a insult to her family! Uh YEAH He is that type of person!
When you drink and get behind the wheel, you are 100% taking the risk of killing someone. A life is lost because you took that risk. You deserve to spend your life behind bars so you can never again do this to another family. 12 years is a slap in the face to the victim and their family. Disgusting.
I think the consideration for the poor woman not wearing her seat belt was given.
Did he show MERCY!?!
I’ve seen so many say, “But if it was his first time…” Saying “first” time suggests that there will be another if not more. Unfortunately, I’ve seen countless times here in FL where that is the case. Light sentences such as these do not seem to sway individuals who choose to commit these senseless acts and they reoffend. In my opinion, this woman was killed no differently than if this man had a gun in his hand.
Agree
Disclaimer ;Listen if u know you’re gonna drink and drive the best strategy is to get to the venue early,do all your drinking ,spend about 2/3 hrs sobering up ,peeing a lot of drinking lots of water . It helps
Way too many DUI deaths. Nobody has felt sorry for the drunk drivers over 50 years. Laws have changed to protect the victims but some drunk drivers are repeat offenders and just don't get it, until they go to jail.
As much as I feel for the man pleading for mercy, actions have consequences and he wasn’t thinking about his during the time he decided to drink and drive.
When you know you SHOULDNT BE DRIVING COZ YOUR DRUNK & you do it anyway AND KILL SOMEONE, isn't that PREMEDITATED MURDER ????
The people that died probably try to beg for mercy
The original and usual depraved finger-pointing influencers
Amazing you can kill someone and only get 12 years
they keep you in jail longer for smoking pot
I think the consideration for the poor woman not wearing her seat belt was given.
12 yrs oh no,no ain't no amount of crocodile tears gonna ever fix what he caused
Don’t Drink People! Drunk and Driving Don’t Go Together not even in a sentence! Drinking is bad…
And wear your damn seat belt so you don't get ejected and die like this poor woman. Why is this so hard?
You gave no mercy to your victim
I think the consideration for the poor woman not wearing her seat belt was given.
@@user-oe5ey3ex8b a death that could’ve been prevented, why would you not have your seatbelt on?
Wear your seat belt!
Seat belts don't really help
In a high speed hit and forceful flip and landing the seat belts can tear. DO YOUR HOMEWORK
I never felt sorry for DUI. They knew the law, but decided to DUI anyway!
That's it 12 years for taking another's life. You had a choice not to drive drunk.
You had a choice not to speed. You could of ubered, taxied, left called your brother or family to come get you. I'm sorry the judge should have been harder on you.
I think the consideration for the poor woman not wearing her seat belt was given.
So wait a minute she wasn’t wearing her seatbelt in that jeep!? Wow.. 🤦♂️🤷♂️
Oh he was drunk driving? Zero excuse, none.
I think the consideration for the poor woman not wearing her seat belt was given.
When he's a prison punk he'll understand what he did and why he should be punished
drunk again, so not necessary, ridiculous
Damm drunk drivers makes me sick
12 years is not nearly enough!!
she wasn't wearing a seatbelt. sorry not sorry. both are guilty but one is six feet under.
Happens too often
Mercy 😂😂😂 tf is wrong with ppl
The party boy doesn't seem remorseful and in a way looks irritated with the judge and the sentence.
I think 15-20 years sounds about right and please add on 6 months for the horrible tie he was wearing.
Rest in Peace to the woman 🕊️
I didn't remember her name while I was texting.
Thats what you get for drriving under the influenced of alcohol.....you will only realized after something bad happens....be remoseful and sorry for a life that was taken from their loved ones....
No tears.
12 years is 12 years , n after that he will be mind prison for the rest of life that he kill someone !!
WTF??!!!
No, you go to prison you bad hombre.
I would not show him any leincey!! Should have gotten at least 15 yrs! His friends make him out to be an angel! He chose to drive drunk and he took a life!😢 May she RIP 🙏 Thoughts and prayers to her family
I think the consideration for the poor woman not wearing her seat belt was given.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂MERCY...
Apparently she did wear a seatbelt. May have saved her.
?
drunk driver yes but it sounds like she wasn't wearing her seat belt
Seat belts dont really protect you
No mercy
12yrs, really?
Too much tbh…
What is wrong with you.
😂😂😂😂😂😂…that’s a big no…
Anybody hear the last name
She is asking for Killing A Lady and Grandma and Families And Friends can not ask for Friends and to talk about how Good She is Right Now Little Baby. 12 years old and still looking fresh and skinny smells like a Fresh Cherry.
Sorry only 12 years that seems light.

Immigrant illegal
You know the drunk drivers family says that's not the kind of person. It doesn't matter what type of person you was before this night. This night he made a choice a bad choice. Weather you make a good choice or a bad choice they both have consequences the problem is nobody has a problem accepting the consequences from a good choice they make but.But they have a problem accepting the consequences from bad choice they make.
NOPE NO MERCY F NO
Shame on you poncho. 🤘🃏🇺🇸🎸
Only 12
