FRENCH VALLEY ---- After saying this was a "very, very difficult" case to forget, a Riverside County Superior Court judge Thursday sentenced a Pechanga tribal member to 44 years to life for running down and killing a Brawley woman and her young grandson nearly two years ago."I remember this vividly," Judge Albert Wojcik said.
Joey Barrientos, 27, was convicted in November of second-degree murder for the deaths of Martha Romero, 56, and her 9-year-old grandson, Pedro. Two other relatives of the victims, including a 4-year-old girl, were injured but survived the July 23, 2005 crash.
Barrientos, while under the influence of methamphetamine, drove a speeding, full-size Ford pickup into the group who were unloading their vehicle to go to a large family gathering on Autumn Woods Road in French Valley
