Syracuse, N.Y. -- Drunk and high on cocaine, Renee Saccone's husband killed three people when he blew a red light at more than 80 mph and hit their vehicle, then ran from the scene to hide in his mother's house, police said.

Now, she's stirring outrage on social media after pleading on Facebook for her husband Anthony Saccone to be released from jail so he can spend one last month with his family before starting a 10- to 30-year prison sentence for vehicular homicide.

"Legally he still has 1 month to spend home with us until he is sentenced," she said in the Sept. 13 post. "So here I ask everyone if you've considered him a brother, a friend help me get him home to his boys and family where he should have been for the past 2 months."

Saccone deleted the post Monday night, but here's a screenshot Syracuse.com grabbed when it was up:

She urged those who consider her husband a "brother" and "friend" to call the Onondaga County District Attorney's Office and "question them on why he is not out."

"The more calls put in the more hassle and the better the chances of them speeding things up on his release," she said.

She added: "Every minute counts please copy and share and help me bring him home for what time we have left... Thank you all from Anthony and I."

Facebook users were unimpressed.

More than 1,000 people left comments on her post, many expressing outrage. Lots contained language that can't be repeated here. Here are some of the tamer responses:

"Omg! You('re) kidding, right?" said Denise Ely.

"Way to Go. He killed 3 people. He's a murderer! Slam the bars in his face!" said Rebecca-Becky Dowling.

"Are you for real. What about the parents, siblings and friends and families of those kids that were killed. HELL NO keep him locked up forever," said Robin Cesario Mitchell.

"Actually the 3 he killed should be the ones Home with their families," said Wendy Gould Krause.

"Unbelievable!" said Deb Frye. "He killed 3 people! If he's such a family man, why was he out drinking, speeding, doing drugs and being reckless the night he killed 3 innocent young people with their whole lives ahead of them. Get a grip lady."

"Are you insane?" said Maurin Corcoran-Moran. "Do you have ANY respect for the families of the MULTIPLE PEOPLE he killed??? Nobody is on your side. You look ridiculous and should stop. Support your lousy husband privately."

"Seriously???" said Debbie Binns-Carp. "Maybe while you are making those calls, you could find a way to bring the kids that he killed home to their families too!!!!"

Michele Bliss said she'd be glad to call the DA, but only to ask why "we don't have the death penalty anymore."

The crash at Onondaga Boulevard and Onondaga Road in the town of Onondaga killed two Onondaga Community College students -- Samra Osmanovic, 20, and Michael Walker, 18 -- and Baylie Rose, 19, a former student at the college.

Law enforcement officials said Anthony Saccone ran from the scene and went to sleep at his mother's house, where he was tracked by a State Police bloodhound and arrested.

Prosecutors said Saccone spent the night drinking and using cocaine and was speeding at up to 86 mph on his way home when he blew through the red light and struck the car carrying Osmanovic, Walker and Rose, all of whom died at the scene.

Saccone pleaded guilty July 25 to aggravated vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a fatal crash. He is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 19 to 10 to 30 years in prison.

At a bail hearing on Monday, Saccone tried to withdraw his guilty plea, telling County Court Judge Matthew Doran that he felt "coerced" into a plea deal with prosecutors. Doran told defense attorney William Sullivan to put his client's request in writing.

District Attorney William Fitzpatrick blasted Saccone's request, asking how much the victims' families "have to endure from this maggot before enough is enough."
