Deadly Carson hit-and-run gets 13 years in prison
David Roberts, 30, was sentenced to 13 years in state prison today for crashing into and killing Bill Cunha, a homeless man, in Carson on Aug. 12, 2007.
Roberts, who had pleaded no contest to vehicular manslaughter and hit-and-run, tearfully apologized to Cunha's family at the Compton Superior Court hearing. He accepted a hug from Cunha's sister, Sheila Cunha, before he was taken to the court's lock-up. Family members of both men said they'd pray for each other.
