Human smuggler gets "life" sentence

@ 11:06 AM (5 days, 1 hour ago)

I have no idea what a "life" sentence means or how soon he could be eligible to get paroled or, half-way housed, or??? This came from a federal judge so I think it might have a little more weight to it than a state court.

Rot in jail, coyote

PHOENIX - A man who crashed an overloaded sport utility vehicle, killing 10 illegal immigrants while fleeing U.S. Border Patrol agents, has been sentenced to life in federal prison.

 

Pineda was driving a Chevrolet Suburban packed with 20 illegal immigrants outside Yuma on Aug. 7, 2006, when border agents spotted him. He fled, ignoring pleas of the passengers to stop, swerved to avoid a spike strip that agents had placed in the road, and crashed.

Among the 10 people who died was a 17-year-old pregnant woman and her fetus.
