  1. Maybe if he faced a lifetime ban and the confiscation of all his wealth he may have got a taxi instead.

    In many US states he would have been charged with murder.

  2. Jose Ortega Cano is a respectable decent man and this could have happened to anyone the law demanding the huge sum of money is disgracefull and all this money wont bring the dead man back, Parra was destined to die that was his Karma and was Gods will
