Chilling image: He crushed two people with his vehicle, he laughed
The images of a terrible event in the US caused outrage in the international public…
Stephanie Melgoza, 24, of East Peoria, Illinois, struck a couple while driving while intoxicated. The police images taken while they were talking with the police officers who came to the place of Melgoza, who got behind the car and killed two people despite being drunk as they left the bar, made them say “give up.”
In the shared images, Melgoza laughed and mocked the police, not believing the police’s words “you killed two people.” As a result of the investigations, it was stated that there was a bottle of vodka in the vehicle, and the young woman said: “I only drank vodka and water. “I’m not very drunk,” she said.
14 YEARS IN PRISON
In the footage, the woman who killed Paul Prowant, 55, and Andrea Rosewicz, 43, was taken into custody. Melgoza was brought before the judge and sentenced to 14 years in prison. The judge also announced that at least 85 percent of Melgoza’s sentence would be carried out.
Melgoza, who broke down in tears after the judge’s decision, said in local media reports: “I’m sorry for everything, an incident like this will never happen again. I haven’t had alcohol since that day and I won’t.”
In the records it was stated that Melgoza was 3 times the alcohol limit.
