A Milan judge on Tuesday
sentenced to seven and a half years in jail Franko Della Torre,
a man who ran a red light at about 120 km/h in his SUV in Milan
on April 30 and crashed into the car of 57-year-old Livio
Chiericati before fleeing the scene as Chiericati lay dying.
The verdict came after a fast-track trial which in Italy
means a third off the sentence.
Prosecutors had asked for 10 years for vehicular homicide
aggravated by fleeing and not offering assistance.
