And then there's Morrissey's real job. The last time he'd worn his tux, the DA said, was for an event downtown last November -- when he got the news that there had been a horrible tragedy downtown, and he left for the scene of what turned out to be the hit-and-run that wiped out Frank Bingham's family.
Today Larry Trujillo, who was driving that truck, and Eric Snell, his passenger,will be sentenced in connection with the deaths of Becca Bingham and the two Bingham children, four-year-old Macie and two-year-old Garrison. In May, Snell pleaded guilty to two counts of accessory to a crime and one count of DUI -- and also agreed to testify against Trujillo, who pleaded guilty in July to thirteen charges, including vechicular homicide, and faces up to 174 years in prison.
Bingham has started his own charities, Bingham Books and the Bingham Memorial Fund, to honor his family. -- Patricia Calhoun
