- 1:34Speaker 3: the man's semi tractor trailer crashed into a sport utility vehicle.
- 1:39Speaker 3: For more, we turned to Sydney Sumner with Crime Online.
- 1:42Speaker 2: We're learning from our friends at KUSATV that Jesus Pueblo
- 1:46Speaker 2: was also found guilty on five other counts by a
- 1:48Speaker 2: Weld County jury, including careless driving and driving without a
- 1:51Speaker 2: valid commercial driver's license. All of this is in connection
- 1:54Speaker 2: to the collision that occurred on Interstate twenty five north
- 1:57Speaker 2: of Denver. Police say that Pueblo's truck was traveling at
- 2:00Speaker 2: seventy six miles per hour when he struck an SUV
- 2:03Speaker 2: that was moving at roughly six miles per hour due
- 2:05Speaker 2: to traffic that was backing up on the interstate. Another
- 2:08Speaker 2: individual was hurt when the truck collided with additional vehicles.
- 2:12Speaker 2: According to court documents, Puebla was unharmed. Puebla's lawyer contended
- 2:16Speaker 2: that the truck's owner was at fault. In his testimony,
- 2:18Speaker 2: Puebla said that the truck he was driving was not
- 2:21Speaker 2: slowing down, even though he attempted to downshift. The Colorado
- 2:24Speaker 2: State Patrol later discovered that the brakes on the semi
- 2:27Speaker 2: were not operating at the time of the crash. The
- 2:29Speaker 2: prosecution claimed Puebla was driving carelessly for miles prior to
- 2:33Speaker 2: the collision and was unaware that traffic had slowed down.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Prosecutors claimed that he shouldn't have been operating a vehicle
- 2:39Speaker 2: with a suspended license and that the truck shouldn't have
- 2:41Speaker 2: passed an inspection before the trip. Aaron Godines and Hayley
- 2:45Speaker 2: Everts of Gillett, Wyoming, were killed in the collision, as
- 2:47Speaker 2: was their three month old daughter, Tesley Godines. Erin's parents,
- 2:51Speaker 2: Emiliano and Cristina Godines, were also killed.
- 2:54Speaker 3: The date of Puebla's sentencing is set forward June twenty first.
- 2:58Speaker 3: The New Hampshire House of Representatives has voted to make
- 3:01Speaker 3: it mandatory for people facing major crimes to be present
- 3:05Speaker 3: when they are informed of their fate once again. Crime
- 3:08Speaker 3: Online Sidney Sumner with how this move was prompted by
- 3:11Speaker 3: a recent murder case.
- 3:13Speaker 2: In non capital cases, defendants are free to leave the
- 3:15Speaker 2: court room at any time following the start of the trial.
- 3:18Speaker 2: This according to federal rules of criminal procedure. Following his
- 3:21Speaker 2: conviction in February for the murder of his five year
- 3:24Speaker 2: old daughter, Harmony, Adam Montgomery exercised that option. Nothing in
- 3:28Speaker 2: the current law requires him to attend for sentencing, even
- 3:31Speaker 2: if the prosecution requests it. A bill the New Hampshire
- 3:34Speaker 2: House is now sent to the Senate would change that
- 3:36Speaker 2: for cases in the future. When the bill was first drafted,
- 3:39Speaker 2: it mandated that defendants facing charges that carried a minimum
- 3:42Speaker 2: fifteen year prison sentence attend in court for both their
- 3:45Speaker 2: entire trial and their sentencing hearings. Opponents counter that the
- 3:48Speaker 2: only people who ought to be made to appear are
- 3:51Speaker 2: those who have been found guilty. In the bill's revised form,
- 3:54Speaker 2: defendants would have to show up for sentencing hearings and
- 3:56Speaker 2: verdict readings. Deerfield Republican representative Tears Roy stated that quote,
- 4:01Speaker 2: if the jury spends the time to hear this case,
- 4:03Speaker 2: the defendant should take the time to go in to
- 4:05Speaker 2: respect that jury and hear their verdict, and he darned
- 4:08Speaker 2: sure should show up for his sentencing. Representative Steve Shirtliff,
- 4:12Speaker 2: a Democrat from Pennacook who discussed the Montgomery issue at
- 4:15Speaker 2: a public meeting earlier this month, co sponsored the proposal
- 4:18Speaker 2: with Roy. Montgomery was accused of killing Harmony in twenty
- 4:21Speaker 2: nineteen and then concealing and moving her body for several months.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Montgomery was found guilty of second degree murder, abuse of
- 4:27Speaker 2: a corpse, and other offenses. The girl's remains have yet
- 4:30Speaker 2: to be.
- 4:31Speaker 3: Found, according to Representative Shirtlift. Prosecutors have requested that Adam
- 4:35Speaker 3: Montgomery appear in person before the girl's family and loved
- 4:39Speaker 3: ones during his sentencing hearing in May.
- 4:42Speaker 1: Thanks John Deston Henderson's catching up with his mom by phone,
- 4:46Speaker 1: and he says he call her back later because a
- 4:48Speaker 1: friend stopped by. He doesn't call back and his mom

- 4:54Speaker 1: saw Deston also can't reach him, and reports Deston Henderson missing.
