A spokesman for the Colorado First Judicial District Attorney's Office told ABC News on Tuesday afternoon that the DA's office has 'filed a motion to start the reconsideration process' of the sentence.
was sentenced
Mederos, who was 23 years old at the time of the crash, was charged with 42 counts and was found guilty on 27 – the most serious of which was first degree assault. Those killed in the crash on Interstate 70 were Miguel Angel Lamas Arellano, 24; William Bailey, 67; Doyle Harrison, 61; and Stanley Politano, 69.
"I will state that if I had the discretion, it would not be my sentence," the district court judge, A. Bruce Jones, said during the sentencing. ABC News has reached out to Jones but a request for comment was not responded to. Under Colorado law, first degree assault and attempted first degree assault are classified as"crimes of violence," Farrell said, which mandates that an individual convicted of more than two"crimes of violence" serve the sentences consecutively, not concurrently."One of the things that the sentence enhances and mandatory minimums do is it takes power away from the judge, and gives it to the prosecutor," Farrell said.
King's office did not comment directly on the allegations of racial bias when asked by ABC News, but said in a statement that"the sentence – which our office requested the minimum for – is within the purview of the court and reflects the judgment of the legislature."
