The man responsible for her grief, Gabriel Delrisco, 43, listened with his shoulders slouched, his puffy eyes fixed on his shoes. For crashing into the Serrano family car in January 2009, wiping out a family, the judge sentenced him to 30 years in prison — 10 years for each child, to be served consecutively.
Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Rosa Rodriguez’s sentence for three counts of DUI manslaughter was the minimum allowed by law. Delrisco, who bought some good will by pleading guilty and sparing the family a trial, had faced up to 45 years.
The former dump truck driver pleaded guilty in February, two years after he plowed his SUV into the back of Hector Serrano’s idling minivan on South Dixie Highway.
Delrisco’s blood alcohol level was three times the legal limit, authorities said. He had spent the night drinking at a Mexican restaurant and later the Stir Crazy strip club.
