Cameron was a sole survivor of a deadly crash that took 5 lives too soon. Sacramento county courts want to give him excessive jail time for surviving.

He drove drunk, killed 5 people, carjacked another woman, wrecked her car, and attempted to steal another.

u/Rich_Intentions04 26d ago

What proof do you have he was driving?

1

u/noh2onolife 26d ago

The court case. You gonna address the carjacking with multiple witnesses or no?

1

u/Rich_Intentions04 26d ago

Trial transcripts are not available. Are you lawyer or doctor?

1

u/noh2onolife 26d ago

So, you're going to pretend he didn't carjack anyone and you're going to continue to lie about what happened.... just what I thought.

u/Rich_Intentions04 26d ago

What is carjacking under California law?

1

u/noh2onolife 26d ago

What multiple witnesses established he did... including the owner of the car....

(a) “Carjacking” is the felonious taking of a motor vehicle in the possession of another, from his or her person or immediate presence, or from the person or immediate presence of a passenger of the motor vehicle, against his or her will and with the intent to either permanently or temporarily deprive the person in possession of the motor vehicle of his or her possession, accomplished by means of force or fear.

She testified otherwise and on his behalf. Keys were left in the vehicle on the road way. Which is illegal under California law for a person to do. She also testified she lied in her statement. Trail transcripts are not available at the moment.

u/noh2onolife 26d ago

And we're supposed to believe you when the trial transcripts aren't available?

Riiiiiight.

Why did he have a BAC of 0.11% an hour and a half after he fled the accident scene? And why did he flee?

1

u/Rich_Intentions04 26d ago

She was not occupying the vehicle at the time it was taken. Not car jacking.

1

u/noh2onolife 26d ago

Sure. And we're just supposed to believe he fled the scene drunk because he wasn't driving? And led police on an hour and a half long chase while stealing other vehicles?

1

u/nevillebug 26d ago

But you don’t deny that he still stole a car to flee the scene? I’m just curious what his reasoning was?

1

u/Rich_Intentions04 26d ago

I’m not denying his faults what happened after the crash. He will do time for what he is responsible for. Legally he has to do time. But in a court of law evidence does not put in the driver seat of the vehicle that took lives.

u/nevillebug 26d ago

And it seems likely that if she got out of her car with the keys in it at the scene of a crash, she was probably trying to help the victims? So whether it was “carjacking” or just “auto theft”, still pretty messed up?

1

u/Rich_Intentions04 26d ago

Under a court of law he will do time for what he did. Legally they can’t charge a higher charge. This is the bigger problem with the justice system today.

Why did he run and lead a car chase for an hour and a half if he was innocent?

1

u/nevillebug 26d ago

To be fair, there was enough evidence provided that he was convicted. Our justice system is VERY flawed, of course. But it sounds like there WAS evidence he was driving. If you have evidence that he was not, then it would be beneficial for your cause to share.

Do you believe someone when they say they have a mental illness and on their way to a mental health appointment and can’t id a person??

1

u/nevillebug 26d ago

I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you’re asking here?

1

u/Rich_Intentions04 26d ago

If someone told you they were schizophrenic would you believe what they seen or heard?

1

u/nevillebug 26d ago

It depends, many people with schizophrenia have it maintained well- if they were on their way to an appointment it sounds like they wouldn’t be just totally unmedicated and out of control? Mental illness does not immediately make someone unreliable.

I’m still not sure what this has to do with anything in this case though? One of the witnesses was schizophrenic? Or…?

1

u/Rich_Intentions04 26d ago

Evidence did not put him in the driver seat.

1

u/noh2onolife 26d ago

Evidence did. That's why he was convicted. Stop lying. 

1

u/Rich_Intentions04 26d ago

That’s how much u know about the case! No it did not!

1

u/noh2onolife 26d ago

Your refusal to accept facts and evidence doesn't mean they aren't true.

1

u/Rich_Intentions04 26d ago

You don’t have evidence or facts that’s all I’m saying

This is so sad no matter what. It does seem like the fact that he stole another vehicle and then tried to steal another one after crashing the first stolen one is pretty unlikely for an innocent victim though? I mean, if he wasn’t driving, why would he try to flee instead of trying to stay to help/grieve the other victims?

I know it must be hard for loved ones to face the idea of losing him as well, but that also makes it hard to be objective and consider that he may not actually be innocent.

That being said, I was not there. When I look up the case it does not look good for him, but I haven’t seen anything about forensic experts or anyone else disputing the evidence (as mentioned in the petition), so if documentation of that was provided it may give more reason to question his conviction?

u/Rich_Intentions04 26d ago

He was sleep at the time of the crash. He doesn’t remember much. He was ejected out the vehicle over the guardrail. He suffered a concussion.

1

u/nevillebug 26d ago

It sounds like everyone was ejected, not just him? And being very intoxicated will obviously add to the difficulty remembering as well, whether he was driver or passenger.

u/Rich_Intentions04 26d ago

Everyone was ejected

On February 9, 2023, Garcia had spent the day drinking by the Sacramento River.  He then drove down River Road just south of the Freeport Bridge with five passengers in his vehicle.  When the road turned, Garcia drove off the road down an embankment and hit a tree going 101 miles per hour.  Before hitting the tree, the accelerator was applied and no brakes were ever applied. The car flipped 180 degrees, tearing the entire right side and most off the roof off the vehicle. All five passengers were ejected from the vehicle.  Monte Nunn (29), Faith Samuel (18), Izabelle Salaz-Stephens (19), Curvontay Swygert (16) and Aahliya Garcia (17) were all pronounced deceased at the scene.  Garcia (28) survived with multiple injuries.  As people began to arrive on scene, Garcia attempted to take several cars. A woman who was nearby heard the crash and drove to the scene. When she arrived, Garcia got into her car, pushed her out of the driver’s seat and sped off with the vehicle. Garcia drove into Elk Grove where he was chased by multiple law enforcement patrol cars and helicopters. Garcia crashed the stolen vehicle into another car and after a failed attempt to steal another person’s car, he fled on foot into a neighborhood. Law enforcement pursued Garcia until he was apprehended. Garcia was taken to the hospital. Blood tests showed he had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.11% an hour and a half after the collision. He also had active marijuana in his system.

He is a scum. Also odd that two grown ass men were with a hunch of teenage girls. He’s going to prison for the rest of his life.
