Speaking through a translator, Ana Maria Torres again pleaded innocence at her sentencing Friday in Santa Ana: “I didn’t do it. … I just want you to know I am not guilty.”
Superior Court Judge, David Thompson, decided the case was not aggravated enough to require a state prison sentence, but he did sentence her to 9 months in jail coupled with three years of probation. The short sentence might be home confinement too, if the probation department feels it appropriate. Torres would be allowed to drive during probation with a valid license and proof of insurance. Her license was revoked by DMV after she killed Jessie Pound with her car in 2007.
The DA, sought a 3 year prison term, calling the sentencing “generous” since he believed Torres deserved a stiffer sentence, as she on lied multiple occasions after being contacted by police and again on the witness stand. Torres also falsely accused a Placentia police officer of misconduct in order to minimize her culpability and has never showed remorse. Alas, I fear Lady Justice’s sword’s swath did not pierce with enough conviction.

WHAT! She gets to keep her license? WTH?
If she needs an interpetor, how can she read the street signs? Are they in Spanish back there?
What a slap in the face to the victims family.
she should have gone to jail….for the full three years that the prosecution wanted….
She should have been executed, the world can do without her.
