Teen Driver Intentionally Hits Officer on 270 - October 18

[Anonymous]

I wish we had cameras that would trigger a photo of cars going 100 mph. Said cars would then be seized. They used to seize (and then sell) cars in California if they were involved in an accident and the driver was uninsured. Not sure this is still the case though. The consequences need to be severe enough to stop the behavior.

Finally this whole case make me wonder what happened to that speeding high school student in the BMW who mowed down those students .

When will people in the political arena learn that “catch and release” works for fishing but not for the criminal justice system?

So they talk about the "potential" of the killer but not the potential of thosr he killed? Disgusting.

He seems to live in a modest neighborhood.

Who was paying for all those fancy cars?

Presuming he doesn’t pay rent, a modest job could provide him enough income to make lease payments.

I know a dad in a low paying job who did not have much disposable income who bought his useless son not one, but two fast sports cars. The kid had so many interactions with the police and I think got jail time for his reckless driving. The last one was for 120 on the Dulles toll rd. A huge percentage of my kid’s peers - early 20s, have convictions for reckless driving and duis. Even the boys I would never have expected. Something is going on here and I blame the parents. They are far too nonchalant about this. Most of the dads of these kids aren’t really bothered by their son’s rd convictions and think it’s just a rite of passage. I blame the parents.

You don't know anything about the parents in this case, and neither do I.

Also I think there were 3 fancy cars involved: a Camaro, a Supra, and a Challenger. I also have questions about how this 19-year-old got access to these cars.

People can blame the parents all the want but that’s not really relevant when the perp is 19 years old.

Yes it is relevant, because:

1) He's one year out of the house, assuming he left at his legal adult age of 18

2) If he lives at home with them, they're even more culpable

Trial coming up in November, but he is expected to plea and get probation.
Criminal is out now on bail and attending college.
Just disgusting.

In Tampa, a speeding teen is serving 24 yrs for killing a mom and her child who was in a stroller. There should be stiff consequences for speeding and injuring, maiming, or killing innocent victims. If the argument is that the young teen's brain hasn't fully developed, then don't give that teen a fast car.

He was acquitted of attempted murder charges.

Raphael Mayorga has been found not guilty of attempted murder in the first and second degree as well as first-degree assault.

He was found guilty of second-degree assault and a dozen other charges.

State’s Attorney John McCarthy said Mayorga could face just over 25 years of jail time for what he was found guilty of Friday, and he’ll pursue a vigorous sentence.

That’ll happen August 27, and Mayorga will stay in jail until then.

I hope he serves the full 25 years and never drives again. I hope this officer sues the bejesus out of the family, who allowed this to happen.

I can almost see that. But I can't understand why he was squirted on first degree assault. If running the officer down and leaving him a double amputee isn't first degree assault, I don't know what is.

Well, he was in a car, so its basically allowed. 40,000+ get killed by cars every year, and if you punished them all appropriately then the jails would be overflowing.
