Long-ago San Pedro fatal hit-and-run driver sentenced
Cristian Herrera got one year in jail this morning, as reported by Max Zimbert, who is working up a longer story to go up later on dailybreeze.com and in The Daily Breeze tomorrow.
Previously, we reported that Herrera took a deal that prosecutors didn't like - but the sentencing laws were pretty restrictive, so he wouldn't have received much more if convicted at trial.
