another sad ending to a promising career .....too much too soon

It was an accident, there are hit and runs everyday everywhere. This just happened to be by someone famous here. I don't know many times a day a pedestrian jumps out in front of me.

Very sad for the families of the victims and for the young athlete. Who I am sure paniced and saw his own life and career flash in front of him. A bad decision to run and lie but that's why the sentances are normally light all over the world for manslaughter.

actually Jander I heard on the radio that he was in love with one of the ladies and that he ran her over cause he could not live with out her... you know the usual stalker thing

he had been charged in NYC for punching out his girlfriend there ....a real Mr macho

Jander,

A hit may be an accident but a RUN is a crime.

in a hummer no less ...what a jerk

A Baseball player is never part of the Dominican Elite.

Never have.

Never will.

You know better than that it all depends on who you marry

A Baseball player is never part of the Dominican Elite.


Don't say that to Manny in LA, he will also run you over!!!
Big Papi is another story, with a class ending!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no one is elite without a proper education - dominican baseball players may have money, but more than half of them can't Read nor Write

OK, I stand corrected, sorry. I guess >50% of the high ranking military/police official and many of the Politico, are not "ELITE" either, as most cannot read nor write beyond a 7th grade (international not Dominican) level .

This was NO ACCIDENT. We've heard from people in Nagua that he was after one of the ladies who did not want to be around him and took off on the pasola. He tried to persuade her and then ramed into them. What a shame, what a Coward. Money does not make you any smarter, classier or likeable. El mono aunque se vista de seda, mono se queda!!

Please help find this Killer! Any information can help posted here

That's real justice...a 6 month to 2 years in jail for running over two people, killing them both and fleeing.
If so and I were one of the girl's father, I'd go run him over and then turn myself in. That's probably only 2 months in jail in the DR.

"Don't say that to Manny in LA, he will also run you over!!!

Manny????? HAHAHAHA
I know of many places in the D.R. where Manny wouldn't be allowed in

its sad that his career is over its even more sad two young women lost their lives.

Santiago/Miami
Juango, I agree with you wholehearteadly on all that Bravado and Machismo stuff. In one particular occasion that I happened to be out for a drink in Francifol in Santiago, I was alarmed at how some of these peloteros behaved (Furcal was one of them). I mean having a few dollars in your pocket is one thing -- but acting as if it was the end all of end alls was alarming to me. Someone's got to devise some sort of charm and humility training for these guys because more often than not they end up hurting themselves -- and worst hurting others as is the case here -- because as we all know instant wealth does not instantly take away ignorance. No hay nada peor que una persona ignorante con cuarto. Y me refiero a una persona ignorante no ha un pobre -- porque hay muchos pobres de bajo recursos que tienen mas clase que cualquier otro.

The real tragedy is the human beings who lost there lives and the 6 months to 2 years possible sentence.................. ARE YOU KIDDING ME, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD !!!!!!! for felony hit n run with TWO fatalities, Life is cheap in the DR.

2.5 years, the charges against him in the US probably will put him away for the same time, maybe longer...

I do not know that much about Dominican law, but in many countries a prosecutor can file for homicide charges if he feels that willful intent can be proven, ie. he intentionally wanted to run the girls over.

But then again, if in the US a famous sportsperson sometimes can get away with murder I doubt how far the prosecutor is willing to push it.

ps. rumor has it that this same guy also has some firearms charges against him here in the DR...

What an animal. I see these baseball players all the time acting like fools. I don't think I can name one of them with class. Again, money cannot by you class being educated does. The worst of them has to be Raul Mondesi, I have seen him pull many stunts (and he is a politician go figure).

jander you must be kidding?. it happens every where? let them drink, do drugs, run people down and leave them in the street to die?.... like this to happen to some one in your family and lets see if you still have the same thoughts about this.....if he did nothing wrong why did he not stop?

It goes back to the old argument, you / one may have MONEY, FAME, POPULARITY, PRESTIGE, ATHLETIC ABILITY and EDUCATION............But nothing replaces commend sense and Character.

"CHARACTER IS A CONDITION OF YOUR HEART "

Character is how one behaves and acts when no one is watching...........
