The verdict is in... Following more than two weeks of deliberations, the Farmers’ Market crash jury found George Russell Weller guilty on 10 counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence — opting against the lesser charges before the 89-year-old Weller, who drove his car through the outdoor Arizona Avenue market more than three years ago, killing 10 people and injuring more than 60 others. While Weller faces up to 18 years in prison, sources indicate the prosecution may not seek jail time. So this week, Q-Line wants to know: Do you agree with the jury’s verdict? What form of sentence would you advise the judge to impose on Weller? Call (310) 285-8106 before Friday at 5 p.m. and we’ll print your responses in the weekend edition. Please try to limit your comments to a minute or less.
