He faces a maximum sentence of 55 years to life.

In addition to murder charges, Gallo is charged with driving under the influence and causing bodily injury, driving with a blood alcohol level above .08% and causing bodily injury, and fleeing the scene.

4.
Lock his ass up and throw away the key. And throw a bar of soap in his cell, for good measure.

5. Sadly, this could have been prevented, how? Because this ILLEGAL should have been deported WHEN HE GOT ARRESTED THE FIRST TIME!

No news reporting on his status, they dont want the American people to know.

7. Why just 55 years? Considering his prior activity, surely it should be more? Does California have a three strikes law or something?

8. It's over for him.

9. Why do these drunken idiots always make it out alive to do it again and again. They cripple people and kill people but they just walk away from the scene. Then they are sentenced to spend the rest of their lives in prison and complain about how bad it is and that they are the victims. I hope this guy rotts in his cell. Very sad that young promising adults had to have their lives taken away from this drunken bastard.

10. This is truly tragic and he should be locked up for life, but you know wether he was legal or not. Don't be ignorant. It doesn't matter who he is this is just really sad.

11. Half the guys in L.A. look like him or worse. Southern California is a third world dump.

12. Good!

13. I hope he spends all of that time (although that's not realistic) in prison and will never be on the roads again. Three times the legal limit??? He must have been smashed! Good bye to Gallo and good riddance to a drunk driver being on the roads. Too bad it wasn't before he killed 3 beautiful young people.

14. This guy did the same thing as Nick Hogan, but because he is perceived as a dumb mexican illegal, you people feel he should rot in prison. I do not sense the same outrage over the fact that Nick the celebrity is free maim again. Granted, this is a horrible tragedy. But punishment should not be determined by the race, sex, physical attractiveness, or celebrity status of the offender. Just sayin
