The defendants were 5 years younger when the crime occurred, so they were 39, 55, and 58 at the time, hardly senior citizens, so to give them a break just because the trial took 5 years and they are half a decade older now makes no sense. <br /><br />I’m sorry to hear that some family members feel like this verdict as a slap in the face.

They’re 44, 59, and 63. Hardly in their dotage! And I guess we are to believe that they had only just learned how to arrange and execute illegal gas hookups. I lived in one of the Hrynenko’s buildings above a different restaurant decades ago, and will always wonder if that was a powder keg as well. As for her attorney saying that Maria gave people a break on their rent when they faced hard times... Then she must have been more charitable than her late husband. He’d act like your best friend until you were a few days late with the rent. Then he’d force his office manager to harangue and harass you on the phone, calling several times each day. She said that she regretted having to do it, but she would explain that “Michael” made her do it.

With good behavior it could be even less time than that. But why should anyone get credit for good behavior in jail when their behavior before they got to jail resulted in the death of others? And where is the compensation for al the other victims? I suppose civil court took care of those issues by now, or perhaps this victims had to wait until the criminal case was over.<br /><br />This case only dealt with the criminal charges related to the deaths of Moises Locon and Nicholas Figueroa, but the events of that day were a crime against so many more people and this community in general. <br /><br />Luckily, I was not one of their victims, but I feel trauma every time I pass by and feel the loss when I remember all the good times I had in those places, and the horror of that day. I can still smell the smoke. Any one of us could have been sitting inside Pomme Frites or Sushi Park when this happened. <br /><br />To think that the perpetrators could be out of jail in less time than the criminal case took to complete is another type of crime in itself. I just hope the families can move forward with their lives now.Giovannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061991537085810824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-11308461693625439872020-01-17T12:33:20.879-05:002020-01-17T12:33:20.879-05:00Cutting corners to save a buck cost two young peop...Cutting corners to save a buck cost two young people their lives. Greed was the only motivation here. For the price of a few dollars families lives were destroyed. 4-12 years? That should be the sentencing for the loss of each life and they should run consecutively making it 8 - 24 years year. After all, murderers are often sentenced to 25 years to life.
