Guest Post by Miriam Judith
Back in March, an African Immigrant semi-truck driver tragically killed three people when he recklessly weaved in and out of traffic while driving on the wrong side of a Nevada highway.
He has since been arrested and faced trial, receiving the seemingly light sentence of 4 to 10 years in prison.
Claude Rafiki, pleaded guilty to charges after he fatally struck three motorcyclists near Laughlin, Nevada including a newly engaged couple, Athena Taylor, 21 and Owen Hart, 22. The other victim was identified as Jeremy Gebo, 44.
According to a Nevada State Police Highway Patrol trooper, Rafiki was not driving in the lane that is required for semis traveling through the state.
