I know I'm necroposting, I'm sorry....not sure what is the correct protocol when I'm following up on the exact same story...but the accused plead guilty yesterday, and was granted bail, with a price tag of $1,000,000.00
which, his family being worth roughly 1.5 billion, he was able to post.
This crash killed three young children, and their grandfather.
Marco Muzzo
So the mother lost not only her three children, but her dad as well;
and her mother and grandmother
(the children's grandmother and great-grandmother)
who were also in the vehicle at the time of the accident,
both suffered extensive injuries:
The parents were not in the vehicle at the time of the accident,
the children were out with the grandparents for a Sunday morning drive on the country roads.
(I notice Muzzo is looking much thinner, these days,
than he appeared at the time of the arrest, back in September).
Almost unrecognizable).
Muzzo had three times the legal limit of alcohol in his blood at the time of the accident,
was stumbling, slurring, and had urinated on himself at the time police arrived on the scene.
Muzzo has retained the services of Brian Greenspan,
the most prolific criminal defense lawyer in Canada today.
It will be interesting to hear what his actual sentence will be,
and how much of that sentence he will actually end up serving,
after taking four lives, injuring two other people, ruining the parents' lives,
and hurting so many.
I will be surprised if he ends up spending more than 7 years in prison.

Quote:Neriza Neville (grandmother) suffered a number of injuries, including fractured ribs, and is recuperating at home with ongoing neck and shoulder pain. She now suffers from anxiety.
Her mother, Josephina Frias, (great-grandmother) spent two weeks in hospital, then five weeks at a rehabilitation centre. She suffered significant memory loss and continues to suffer from a brain bleed.

Quote:The charge of impaired driving causing death carries a maximum prison sentence of life, while bodily harm has a maximum sentence of 10 years. The Crown and defence will make submissions on sentencing at the end of the month, and Fuerst will ultimately decide on the penalty.
