Following the jury’s conviction, the young driver was sentenced to what the judge explained was the minimum mandatory sentence of 110 years in prison.

Since the sentencing, angry truckers have begun boycotting the State of Colorado over its “unfair” laws. As many as 4.5 million people have since also signed a petition for clemency.

Calling on Colorado Governor Jared Polis to grant a pardon to Aguilera-Mederos was also Kim Kardashian who made it clear she stands with the trucker as she urged the governor to “do the right thing” because “Colorado law really has to be changed.”

“Shocking and unfair part of this case is that the judge didn’t want to sentence him to such a lengthy sentence. However, because of the mandatory minimums in Colorado, his hands were tied,” Kim Kardashian wrote in a series of Instagram posts.

“Mandatory minimums take away judicial discretion and need to end,” the 41-year-old, who recently passed California’s baby bar law exam, added as she tagged the governor in her post.

“Colorado law really has to be changed and this is so unfair. @govofco is a really food person and I know he will do the right thing.”
