18-year-old Devinee Rooney was killed in a multi-car crash in 2020.
She was killed in a multi-car crash in 2020 days before her high school graduation.According to Assistant District Attorney Louis Walker this wasn’t the verdict Rooney’s family was wanting to hear.
Walker says they were advocating for the manslaughter charge that Madera was initially indicted with.Back in May of 2020, Rooney was killed in that multi-car crash days before her Theodore High School graduation.Walker says this was a disappointing outcome for the family. “Obviously our contention was that he was aware of the risks, based on his conduct but ultimately the jury has to decide difficult cases and that was the resolution the verdict they came to,” Walker said.
According to ALEA investigators, it was Madera’s car that slammed head-on into the car driven by Rooney.They say they’ve all been hurting for the last two years. “Condolences to her family though you know,” Jetzalis Tirato, the defendant’s sister said. “They didn’t deserve what happened. I don’t think anybody deserves that, to lose their daughter.”“He is very sorry. This was an accident,” Yadzia said. “It hurt everybody but it was just an accident and you could see him in there crying as they were talking about what was going on.”He faces a maximum of ten years, although he’ll likely receive much less.Download the FOX10 Weather App.
