Vicious and Insane Sentence Rightly Commuted. (It's a long time since I had cause to praise a Democrat politico.)

Colorado Governor Jared Polis has reduced the 110-year sentence of Rogel Aguilera-Mederos to just ten years after widespread pressure and public outcry from Kim Kardashian. 

On Thursday, Gov. Polis commuted the prison sentence of Aguilera-Mederos, who was working as a truck driver at the time of the fatal accident, calling the lengthy penalty for a fatal roadway accident 'unjust.'

'You were sentenced to 110 years in prison, effectively more than a life sentence, for a tragic but unintentional act,' Polis wrote in a letter. 

'While you are not blameless, your sentence is disproportionate compared with many other inmates in our criminal justice system who committed intentional, premeditated, or violent crimes.'

Aguilera-Mederos' harsh sentence on December 13 drew criticism among millions of people - including a juror who had found him guilty, and Kardashian - who has remained vocal in her criticism with the sentencing. Mail.
