54 Years
- A reputed gang member was sentenced to 54 years in prison today for ramming a carload of teens on Chicago’s West Side and killing an 18-year-old college student because he mistakenly thought they were gang rivals.
Shalimar Santiago, 30, showed no reaction as Judge Joseph Claps handed down the punishment for first-degree murder and seven counts of aggravated battery in the August 2009 crash that killed aspiring doctor Stephanie Herrera.
Moments before, Santiago stood at the defense table in a tan jail jumpsuit and apologized to the victims, but he said it was all a tragic accident and he was not the monster portrayed by prosecutors.
Correct us if we're wrong, but an accident involves an unforeseen set of circumstances. This was completely preventable and unnecessary. "Monster" is by far the mildest description we can imagine.
It should have been around a one-hundred-fifty year sentence.

Rod is looking for a cellie.
If he actually serves 54 years it might be enough.
Sadly he'll probably be back out before he's 40, probably to shoot at a cop....
His parents should get 54 years for naming him Shalimar.
And Gov Potatohead threw out the Death Penalty. Now it'll cost the taxpayers greatly.
I knew this prick from the 014, what a piece of shit!!!!!!
Shalimar Santiago is exactly what they portrayed him to be a monster 54 yrs is not enough they should've gave this punk life, he has quite the street resume, Inca, Enforcer, a few shooting's under his belt, GOOD RIDDANCE FUCK HEAD!

Thanks a bunch Gov Quinnochio for taking the death penalty option off the table. If ever a case cries out for the rat bastard to fry, this is it!!!!!
