Driver who killed four Escondido pedestrians, including two children, gets 25 to life in prison [Breaking]
Emanuel “Manny” Rivas carried around a sketch pad — he loved to draw, his mother said. Younger brother Yovanny Felix always wanted his mom’s attention — he enjoyed sharing how much he loved her.The brothers, their grandmother Carmela Camacho and her longtime boyfriend Abel Juan Valdez were out for an evening walk in Escondido on May 5, 2020, when they were mowed down by a sedan on a sidewalk. All four died that night. Before the crash, the driver had been huffing canned air, prosecutors said.
As the judge spoke, Norma Espinoza cried in the front row of the courtroom. The 30-year-old mother lost both her sons in the crash. “They were my everything. They were my life,” she said.“It’s really hard on me just to think I’ll never tuck my kids in to sleep,” Espinoza told the judge during the hearing Thursday. “Nobody knows how many times I cry myself to sleep ... wishing I could wake up and see them in my home again.”“I think one day, I may forgive her,” Espinoza said of Williams.
The car was completely on the sidewalk when she ran into the four victims then plowed into a tree. Valdez and Manny died at the scene. Camacho and Yovanny died that night at a hospital. The judge also heard from Valdez’s sister, Elvia Valdez. Through a Spanish language interpreter, she said her brother was “very kind, very respectable and very humble.” She said his death left their mother “torn apart.”Deputy District Attorney Laurie Hauf said Williams’ car drifted 21 feet before it mounted the sidewalk.
