McKINNEY — A woman grieving the loss of her husband and two of her children said she found no justice at the Collin County Courthouse on Friday.

Courtney Hacking called the two-year sentence imposed on an illegal immigrant responsible for the car crash that killed three innocent people "a slap on the wrist."

"Today for me is offensive to our family," Hacking said in court. "There's no justice in what you're getting today."

Her comments came after sentencing for Margarito Quintero Rosales, 35. He pleaded guilty to three counts of criminally negligent homicide in the deaths of Peter Hacking, 36, and the couple's children, 4-year-old Ellie Bryant and 22-month-old Grayson Hacking.

Quintero was driving a Ford van that swerved into oncoming traffic on State Highway 78 in Wylie shortly after 2 p.m. March 31, 2016, and struck Hacking's vehicle. Quintero had no driver's license. Investigators believe he fell asleep at the wheel.

District Judge Benjamin Smith honored the plea agreement with prosecutors, sentencing Quintero to the maximum two years in prison. Quintero will get credit for the 537 days he has already served in jail.

The sentence will be served at the same time as a two-year federal sentence imposed earlier this month. Quintero pleaded guilty to a federal charge of re-entry of a deported alien. A Mexican citizen, Quintero had previously been removed from the U.S. in October 2008.

Quintero, who appeared in court Friday wearing shackles on his wrists and ankles, gave one-word answers through a translator as the judge questioned him before imposing the sentence.

He sat in silence during the victim impact statements.

'I don't forgive you'

Peter Hacking's death came two days shy of his first wedding anniversary with Courtney Hacking. Between the two of them, they had nine children from previous marriages. Seven children lived with them in the small town of Lavon. Grayson was their first child together.

Hacking managed computer systems for A. H. Belo Corporation, parent company of The Dallas Morning News. He had been a member of the Lavon Planning and Zoning Commission and was a captain in the Nevada Fire Department, where he volunteered.

Courtney Hacking said her husband always wanted to fix things and make things better. "The impact he made on this world will never be forgotten," she said in court.

Ellie's father, Stephen Bryant, called Quintero selfish and irresponsible. "I don't forgive you," he said.

'Hard to believe they're gone'

Jaclyn Cortez told the court she lost an uncle, a cousin and a godson the day of the crash. Her uncle was finishing studies at Texas A&M University-Commerce so he could convert his British bachelor's degree to an American equivalent in May. Ellie was supposed to start kindergarten last fall. And Grayson was learning new words every day, Cortez said.

"It's still hard to believe that they're gone," she said.

Debra Reneau said the deaths of her son-in-law and grandchildren have turned the family's world upside down.

"You weren't supposed to be here," she said in a written statement read aloud in court to Quintero. "All of this heartbreak is because of you."

Courtney Hacking said her husband had picked up their kids from the sitter the day of the crash. He rarely ever drove on State Highway 78. That day, he did.

"On that day I lost my husband, my baby boy, my princess, my life as I knew it and my future," she said. "And you were the one who took that away from me ..."

"You were in this country illegally for the second time. You were driving a car without a license coming from a job you were illegally paid to do," she said. "Because of your selfishness, three beautiful people lost their lives."
