The truck driver who was convicted of five counts of vehicular homicide, and one count each of vehicular assault, careless driving and reckless driving in a deadly crash was sentenced on Friday. Jesus Puebla was sentenced to 11 years in prison for his role in the deadly crash in Weld County that killed a family of five from Wyoming. The Godines family killed in the crash included Emiliano, 51, Christina, 47, Aaron, 20, and Tessleigh, 3 months old. Halie Everts, 20, was also killed in the crash. All five people were from Gillette, Wyoming.  "I'm disappointed in the lack of joy I got to experience because of this man. The last two years have hurt us mentally and physically and I don't wish this pain of losing a family member on anyone," said Haden Everts, the victim's brother.  They were killed after the SUV they were riding in was rear-ended by a US Postal Service box truck in northern Colorado near Highway 66 on June 13, 2022. Investigators with the Colorado State Patrol say the SUV was in the left lane of Interstate 25 in Weld County and had slowed for traffic when the semi slammed into it.

Editor's note: This article was originally published on October 14, 2022. It has since been updated. Wrongful incarceration poses a number of challenges in the United States. According to statistics, 4% to 6% of people imprisoned are actually innocent and a large proportion of these people belong to marginalized sections of society. Poor police work, abusive interrogations or a lack of technology to adequately examine the evidence frequently result in the conviction of innocent persons. While DNA evidence is normally what's used to prove someone's innocence, it was the TV show "MythBusters" that helped reverse the conviction of someone.

A man who lost his wife on their wedding night after they were struck by a drunk driver will receive nearly $1 million in a settlement from multiple parties, according to South Carolina outlet The Post and Courier. On the tragic night in April 2023, Aric Hutchinson and his bride, Samantha Miller, were leaving their wedding reception in a golf cart when the intoxicated driver hit them while traveling 65 miles per hour in a 25-miles-per-hour zone. The cart was reportedly launched 300 feet, and Miller died on-site. She was “still wearing her wedding dress,” according to The Guardian. Hutchinson broke several bones and suffered a brain injury. He later filed a lawsuit against defendants including Enterprise Rent-a-Car and local businesses the Drop In Bar & Deli, the Crab Shack and Snapper Jacks. He alleged in his complaint that the driver, Jamie Komoroski, had “slurred and staggered” her way to multiple locations before getting behind the wheel. Komoroski has been charged with reckless homicide and multiple counts of felony DUI.Read it at The Post and CourierRead more at The Daily Beast.
