Neri Sanchez Gomez, who killed Ernest Elliot, 53,, and injured his 40-year-old wife Nancy, in a hit-and-run accident on Highway 1 near Pescadero last year, was sentenced Friday to 364 days in jail. The Daily Journal reports that this was a day short of the one-year term which would ensure his deportation. The Mexican national still faces federal charges for fake US identity documents. He was released on Friday, having received credit for time served.
