HIT AND RUN – 11 YEAR OLD VICTIM

This actually happened a little while ago, but the man who did this has just gotten out this month after only serving a little over a year.

A little over a year ago a man (Sanchez) driving a friends van was returning home when an 11 year old girl (Gladys) stepped out into the crosswalk. When Sanchez turned the corner the van struck 11 year old Gladys lodging her in its wheel well and kept going.  GOOD GRIEF!!!!

People that saw what was happening tried desperately to get Sanchez to stop. He dragged Gladys for a quarter of a mile down the flippin road. This destroyed her one arm and mangled a leg, she did by some miracle survive, but the arm was amputated.  HOW UTTERLY AWEFUL !!!

Sanchez was sentenced on march 21st 2007 to 23 months. 

The father of Gladys is so upset and there is no love for the driver (Sanchez) who almost killed his only daughter. The other reasons for this besides the obvious, is the man who cost his child her arm and rendered a leg pretty much useless, got out of prison after barely serving a year.

The authorities said that their hands were tied. The judge went on to say: “It was about as sad an experience I’ve had as a judge. He recalled seeing the horrific hospital photos of Gladys injuries and feling frustrated he couldn’t give Sanchez more time. The judge also said “This poor girl was minding her own business, Sanchez deserves more prison time.”

Authorities said “our sentencing guidelines do not comprehend the magnitude of a crime of this nature, it doesn’t even call for a prison sentence.”    NICE ONE !

Sanchez’s Attorney said “Sanchez felt an enormous amount of shame and sympathy for the victim and her family.”   I WOULD HOPE SO, FOR GOODNESS SAKE !

 

OUR HEARTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU GLADYS AND YOUR FAMILY AS WELL. HANG IN THERE SWEETIE, IT CAN ONLY GET BETTER FROM HERE.
