Kim Kardashian calls justice system ‘unfair’ in Rogel Aguilera-Mederos case

Kim Kardashian has called the justice system “unfair” in the case of a 26-year-old truck driver sentenced to 110 years in prison in the United States.

The reality TV star was commenting on the case of Rogel Aguilera-Mederos, who received a lengthy sentence for vehicular homicide following a crash that killed four people in Colorado in 2019.

This 41-year-old woman recently passed the “baby bar” on her fourth attempt as part of her law apprenticeship.

“I know everyone has been posting about Rogel Aguilera-Mederos this week,” she wrote on her Instagram Story.

“I looked into it further to understand what the situation is.”

She continued: “(A) shocking and unfair aspect of this case is that the judge did not want to sentence him to such a long sentence.

“However, because of Colorado’s mandatory minimum sentences, his hands were tied. Mandatory minimum sentences strip judges of their discretion and must end.

“Colorado law really needs to be changed and it’s so unfair.”

More than 4.5 million people have signed a petition on Change.org urging Colorado Gov. Jared Polis to grant clemency or commute Aguilera-Mederos’ sentence by Tuesday.

“(Governor Polis) is a very good person and I know he will do the right thing,” Kardashian said.

“I pray that Governor Polis, who has played a leading role in supporting reforms to increase human dignity in the legal system, will commute his sentence. »

She said the behavior of prosecutors, who allegedly shared insensitive messages after Aguilera-Mederos’ conviction, made her “sick.”

Kardashian said: “Four people died in this tragic accident.

“Rogel is sentenced to life in prison for this accident, which will not only destroy his life, but will also impact the lives of his wife and son.

“And yet for some reason the prosecutor thought it would be funny to post a photo of a brake shoe trophy she received from a colleague along with a plaque.

“It makes me so sick.”
