Com. v. Lazaro Pozo Illas
The Louisville jury recommended 20 to 30 years in prison for capital murder charge.
Lazaro Pozo Illas drove his vehicle through a golf cart crossing where all vehicles must yield to the golf carts, as though pedestrians.
The golf cart driver died and passenger suffered injuries.
Upon a guilty verdict, the jury recommended 20 to 30 years in prison.
A juror later told CourtTV that the jury was agreeable to a harsher sentence (life in prison) had the prosecutor sought it.
