Jorge Miguel Romero pled no contest and was sentenced to a year in jail this month to charges of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter after he crashed his big rig into the back of a van last August.  The collision killed the three children in the backseat, 5-year-old Kyle Coble and his two sisters, Emma, 4, and Katie, 2.  All were strapped into child-safety seats.

Jorge pled no contest claiming that he thinks about those three children every day, a memory that has made him certain he will never drive a truck again.  The Cobles filed a civil lawsuit against Romero alleging his negligence and failure to pay attention to the road made it difficult to avoid the stopped traffic.  Cell phone records also suggest that Romero was checking his voicemail at the time of the accident.  According to the Coble's attorney, the year sentence has only given the family partial closure.
