Colorado judge slams Gov. Polis' lack of 'respect' in reducing truck driver's sentence by 100 years


Jared Polis had commuted the sentence of Rogel Aguilera-Mederos from 110 years to 10 years, following outcry from the public and activists. Aguilera-Mederos was convicted late last year of killing four people in a 2019 truck crash on Interstate 70 near Denver. But before the hearing could take place, Polis announced on Dec. 30 that he had cut the sentence by a century, local affiliate FOX 31 reported . When Jones imposed the 110-year sentence on Dec. 13, he acknowledged that if he had the option of doing differently, he would have. A spokesperson for Polis’ office told Fox News the 110-year sentence "was totally different than what others who committed similar crimes received."
