LA Times: Plea deal is rejected in hit-and-run death of USC student

Earlier this year, a drunk driver ran over and killed a USC college student named Adrianna Bachan and left her companion Marcus Garfinkle with permanent disabilities. The crime would have been bad enough – the drunk driver’s husband, stepped out of the car, pushed Marcus Garfinkle OFF THE WINDSHIELD and then got back in the car and the couple drove off – a hit and run. The husband later fled to Mexico and was captured as he tried to sneak back into the country.

The DA offered Josue Luna – the husband – a plea deal of six years and four years for his wife Claudia Cabrera, the drunk driver. The couple turned down the plea deal. God, please please please let this case go in front of a jury. I hope they get life in prison. What kind of upside-down world are we living in, when you can negotiate murder and attempted murder charges down to four and six year prison sentences?
