Pittsburg Man Charged with Vehicular Manslaughter in Death of Teen
Martinez, California – The Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office has filed a four-count complaint against a 34-year-old Pittsburg man for his role in a hit-and-run collision that took the life of a 17-year-old female.
Roberto Matthew Sainez was arraigned in Superior Court in Martinez today on vehicular manslaughter, a hit and run that resulted in the death of another person, destroying evidence, and driving with a suspended or revoked license for a DUI conviction. The manslaughter charge comes with an enhancement of fleeing the scene after committing the offense.
Deputy District Attorney Jeff Kolko noted that Sainez not only fled the scene after striking the teen with his vehicle but also took action to cover up the evidence. A family member of the victim also spoke in court asking Judge Nancy Davis Stark to consider the lack of remorse in Sainez’s actions. After hearing from the victim’s family member and Mr. Kolko’s request to increase Sainez’s bail, the judge increased the bail amount from $200,000 to $1,000,000. — Full Story
