No justice for my son Roberto Ronco

On May 2, 2014 my son, Robert Ronco, 62, a musician, was hit by a car and killed in front of our home.

The driver was charged with careless driving and recently received her sentence: A fine of $1,000, 120 hours of community service, a driving class and six months’ suspension of her license.

For taking a life? Is this justice?

Mary Ronco, Miami
