5 year old vehicular homicide ends with 15 year plea

In Chattanooga, Herineldo Cintron, 47, pled guilty and received a 15 year sentence. Years of delay resulted from the defendant claiming incompetence to stand trial. While out on bond Citron was accused of killing another person while beating him with the walker he used due to injuries sustained in the fatal wreck. The murder case is still pending.
Cintron ran into and over a passenger on a motorcycle stopped at a light. He had a .21 BAC and cocaine in his system. He was speeding and driving like he owned the road.
The victim's husband, who was also injured in the crash, was relieved and happy with the plea. ADA Brian Finley fought the hard fight through years of delay and did a great job of keeping the family informed along the way. He deserves appreciation for a job well done. Please keep the deceased victim, Deborah Kenyon and her husband, Donald, in your thoughts and prayers.
