“Death is too good for her” – Lenny Rosado

The devastated father of Leandra Rosado had little sympathy for Carmen who killed his 11 year old daughter due to driving while intoxicated. He exclaimed that death was too good for the killer and spending rest of her life behind the bars, haunted with the devastating wreck she had caused, is the only way left.

The shattered father of the dead girl was indeed inconsolable. He gained custody of his daughter seven years ago and had been taking care of his daughter as single parent from then on. Just as he would spend the rest of his life thinking about the incident and those moments when his child would have been through the flipping car, the killer should not be spared for her recklessness.
