Paula Pizarro insists no prison sentence can match the suffering she has endured since a sleepy driver killed her father — a pedestrian on his way to work on a downtown sidewalk.

Jonathan Power, 26, was slammed with a 26-month sentence for killing Florencio Ramon Pizarro, 73, and seriously injuring fellow pedestrian, Colin Henry, on a Sherbourne St. sidewalk on July 31, 2017 during morning rush hour.

“This was not an accident but a wreckless decision … No sentence will ever begin comparing to the life-long nightmare that Jonathan Power has inflicted on all of us,” stated Pizarro, 29, in an emotional victim impact statement.

Pizarro’s mom died of a broken heart in January this year, court heard.

“The sudden and violent death of her partner of more than 35 years was too much for my mother to handle. She died just six months after she lost her beloved partner, best friend and protector,” stated Pizarro.
