Pondering death penalty for ‘deliberate’ Vegas crash killing 3
A tragic incident in Las Vegas resulted in the death of three individuals, including the pregnant girlfriend of the accused, Jose Gutierrez. He faces serious charges, including potential capital punishment if found guilty by a jury. Following a 12-car crash, Gutierrez pleaded not guilty in court and waived his right to a speedy trial. Prosecutors are considering a possible penalty of death, and a decision might be made at Gutierrez's upcoming hearing on January 6. Although Nevada has not executed anyone since 2006, the case is moving forward after a preliminary hearing where evidence of Gutierrez's alleged actions was presented. Reports indicate he was driving at a high speed before the crash, blaming it on untreated seizures. The incident involved multiple vehicles and individuals aged 5 to 75, causing a prolonged closure of the intersection. For help or support related to domestic violence, the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-SAFE (7233) is available, or call 911 in an emergency.
