The aftermath violently ended the three occupants in his car, Mario Davila, 60, his wife Maribel Davila, 52, and their son Oscar Davila, 19. To read more on the story, click HERE.

Looking into this case, Verduzco is looking at so many different possible charges. From DUI to murder to even manslaughter, this case is not favorable at all for him. Based on the fact that Verduzco was acting negligently, he could be facing charges under Penal Code 187. According to California Legislative Information, this penal code refers to murder. Verduzco is facing three counts of murder and if he is found guilty of all charges, he will be facing life imprisonment. Typically, murder charges include around 25 years to life sentencing; in this case, Verduzco is facing three. To Learn more about Penal Code 187, click HERE.
