9:45 pm
today we heard a professionally scripted rehearsed apology from you. well, it's too late. it is a waste of time. we don't need to hear, sorry about your loss, i made a mistake or some other excuse. so you know there is no such as healing in this. you can heal a cut, a bruise, or a disease. not this. this doesn't go away. we just have to live with this from now on. stein, your decisions killed two people and ruined our lives forever. you hurt countless people. you hurt our entire family. your family will never have to deal with that. you will get another chance. your family has hope. we don't have hope. and finally, just so there is never any doubt, you won't be forgiven by us. we will never get over losing our eric. no parent or family who truly loves each other ever does. i know the best days of our lives are over. some things always wrong in my life now. eric is missing.
9:46 pm
i'm never truly be happy again. and my family will never be whole again. >> thank you. >> mr. stein, on the day this happened you violated several laws that are specifically designed to protect public safety. your driving then produced tragic and completely avoidable results. there is no amount of time that will bring back the two young people, but you need to be punished for this. mitigating against that somewhat according to the statute is you don't have any prior adult convictions. you don't have anything that would raise this level of offense to another level of offense. on count two, the sentence will be 24 months in the state penitentiary. and you will pay a $10,000 fine. on count four, 24 months in the state penitentiary, you will pay a $10,000 fine. those sentences will run consecutive to one another. and you will have a lifetime driving suspension and will also pay court costs.
9:47 pm
>> i guess my hopes were kind of shot down. my hopes were about two years. two to three years. with a chance of getting my driver suspension revoked at some point. >> and the victims families spoke what was it like for you? what was going through your head? >> basically what was going through my head was stay strong. basically the male's family was mad. i don't think they are going to get over it. like me, i'm not going to ever get over it. but to cope with it is one step. the girl's grandfather did say that he forgave me. and that was a big thing. it hurt in my chest. but it felt good to hear that someone actually forgave me. >> coming up -- kyle stein takes the long walk to the state prison bus. >> i got about four years to
