Judge mulls sentence for vehicular homicide defendant
Prosecutor Carlos Gutiérrez voiced disappointment after District Judge Paggy Nelson handed 18 months in prison for 88 year old Steve Cortez in a February 2001 crash near Costilla that killed Joe Maes Jr. and injured another. A blood test showed a high alcohol level about five and a half hours later. Cortez received 18 months with probation, seven months time served, and no prison beyond that. Maes's mother pressed for inpatient treatment rather than prison, while a local petition urged treatment.
