However, because of time constraints, only the first 35 vehicles arriving on each date will be inspected. That way, inspectors may provide the best quality service and have enough time to properly instruct the caregiver on the proper use of the child seat.

He’s been See Vidarte, Page 13 www.connectionnewspapers.com questions, Nurse responded, “No, sir.” Investigator Bush testified that Alvarado told him he knew Nurse had a gun and he’d asked for it, prior to the fistfight, to intimidate Vidarte. Later, said Bush, “When Alvarado learned Vidarte had died, he started to cry, put his head down and appeared remorseful.” Yet, he wasn’t the only one who shed tears. Vidarte’s mother, Beatriz Alzamora, took the stand and cried while a Spanish-language interpreter read a letter she’d written to the judge. Wrote Alzamora: “One year ago, my son passed away, but my family and I are still filled with grief.” At the time of his death, he worked for UPS in Chantilly and did valet parking at Inova Fair Oaks Hospital. He was also attend- ing ITT Technical Institute and hoped to work in criminal justice. “Bryan was my first child, and we became best friends and even worked at the same hospital,” wrote his mother, who also has a daughter, 13, and boy-and-girl twins, 12. “We still miss him, every minute of every day. He had so many plans for his future. My family will never be the same. My little boy is deaf, and Bryan took a sign-language class to communi- cate with him. [Because of Bryan’s death], my other children have had to see psychologists. This loss has destroyed my family.” Noting that Nurse was sentenced to 10 years in prison, with five suspended, for his role in Vidarte’s death, Morgan told Judge Thomas Horne that Alvarado deserved equal punishment. “Vidarte defended himself against two people,” said Morgan. “Alvarado is just as culpable as Nurse and should get the same sentence.” Lopez, however, asked for 10 www.ConnectionNewspapers.com Centre View South ❖ October 14-20, 2010 ❖ 7 Opinion
