An unbelievable travesty of justice occurred last week in Ohio after an illegal alien who killed a loving father and his young son was given an unbelievably lenient deal.

Back on February 28, the Ohio State Highway Patrol revealed that a driver who was later identified as 53-year-old Yvio Michel of Haiti, drove his Great Dane semi-truck northbound on Interstate 75 but failed to maintain sufficient distance as he approached congested traffic. As a result, he smacked into four passenger vehicles and another semi-truck.

Lima, Ohio, resident Hurshel Gipson and his 11-year-old son, Michael, were killed in a massive crash caused by the illegal alien. Gipson’s 45-year-old wife, Amanda, who was driving the family’s 2015 Buick Enclave, was transported to an area hospital with serious injuries.
Fortunately, she managed to survive the incident.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol reported that four other victims were all in separate vehicles that were struck by Michel, who now resides in Florida. One of them was transported to a hospital with serious injuries, while two others were sent there with non-life-threatening injuries.

The crash closed the highway for five hours.

One would think that a Michel would have received a lengthy jail sentence for his reckless actions. But last Wednesday, a woke judge named Tammie K. Hursh decided to sentence Michel to just 20 days in prison for causing the crash.

Not 20 years. Not 20 months. 20 DAYS!

Hometown Stations reported:

A Florida truck driver has been sentenced to 20 days in jail for causing a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 75 that killed a Lima man and his 11-year-old son earlier this year.

Yvio Michel, 53, of Boynton Beach, Florida, pleaded no contest Wednesday in Lima Municipal Court to misdemeanor charges of negligent homicide and vehicular manslaughter stemming from the Feb. 28 crash in Allen County.

Judge Tammie K. Hursh found Michel guilty on both charges and ordered two mandatory 10-day jail sentences to be served consecutively, for a total of 20 days in the Allen County Jail.

Michel is scheduled to complete his sentence Sept. 21. Allen County Jail officials confirmed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has placed a detainer on Michel and that ICE will be contacted when he completes his jail sentence.

Homeland Stations also notes that during Michel’s March arraignment, his attorney told the court that during that hearing, Michel was an illegal alien.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has placed a detainer on Michel, and the federal agency will be contacted when he completes his jail sentence.
