I am sorry for what you are feeling, but you need to get the story straight. Kelly did have her seatbelt on, she was taken to the correct hospital. Don’t Try to blame her death on the peopel trying to help her. What killed her was a Drunk Driver. Whether here illegally or not, he was drink. Whether he was a hard worker trying to take care of his family, he was DRUNK. whether he had an addiction, he was DRUNK. He was driving a BIG Truck DRUNK, and he hit a Small car DRUNK. That is what killed Kelly. He is the one that has affected not only her family and friends but his as well. But that was his Choice not Kelly’s. You are right God does love everyone! This has nothign to do with God, this has to do with Justice. And Justice will be served. And that is all anyone is asking for. So i am sorry his parents can’t see him everydat, but they will still get to see him, que no?

Figured in Arizona, home of Tombstone and “Western Styled Justice”, that a scumbag like Manuel Contreras-Galdean wouldn't even be able to think of asking for what he did.. I was wrong.. Jay, if you want to see scum like that on a daily basis and a good amount of them actually getting away with this shit, take a plane and come visit our wonderful Commonwealth of Massachusetts!

I do not know when we can save our kids and youngsters from this alcohol monster. This is getting weird; we are loosing lives of many people. We need stronger measures to stop this.

"You'd be suprised I get more traffic and clients from blogs about my personal life then I do from my professional informative blogs. "

Doesn't surprise me in the least. I've had a lot of people tell me their favorite posts are those that show the human behind the keyboard.

Thanks for your kind words, and the thoughts for the family.

Well said David. When someone drives drunk, there is only one person to blame…

I included the fact that this guy was an illegal alien simply because it shows he has zero respect for the law. He came here illegally, go arrested, was deported, came back illegally, and killed someone. He's accused of felony forgery, and a multiple convicted drunk driver. And he's a murderer. He has no respect for the law, and yet has the gall to ask for a lighter sentence. It's absurd.

Hey Ozzie – I'm so sorry for your loss. There really are no words that can express how much something like this must hurt.

As for the guy that said this post was unprofessional and wouldn't get leads, he clearly doesn't get it. I could care less about what this post does from a traffic and lead point of view — it wasn't written for that. It was written to help me vent, and to hopefully make a point — that drunk driving impacts a LOT of people.

I believe we briefly chatted about Sean in Colorado Springs. Tragic. And 4 years is just ridiculous. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Jay,

Your open letter to this murderer is not only relevant but it show's the true passion you have for human life. Suprisingly a select few choose to criticise you. I commend you for your strong passionate words.

Blog's aren't just about writing about real estate they are also about your personal life. You'd be suprised I get more traffic and clients from blogs about my personal life then I do from my professional informative blogs. People like to know who they work with on a personal level.

My thoughts and prayers goes out to the family. Hopefully justice will be served.

Being allowed to live the rest of his natural life, even from behind bars, is already a pretty light sentence, based on the fact that this was the third time, as you pointed out, that he was caught.

Probaby too lenient, as far as I'm concerned, based on the way that drunk driving has affected my family.
