Irma Perez' Killer Gets Just 5 Years

Anthony Rivera, 20, the only adult charged in the Bay Area Ecstasy death of 14-year-old Irma Perez has been sentenced to five years. Read the story here.

Irma got a death sentence. Her parents were sentenced to life without their daughter. In a couple years, Rivera will be back on the street ... perhaps selling drugs to junior high students again. What a shame.

Irma and two other 14-year-old girls took Ecstasy at a sleepover. The other two girls survived with only mental scars. (Cathy's Story in my film tells a similar story -- except 38 kids took ecstasy that Prom Night, and only Cathy died.)

I'm really upset and hurt that this bastard only got 5yrs. he is a murderer! he killed my little sister. he's just like any other predator on the street. This guy was selling drugs to little kids. Especially because he was 18yrs old he was the adult he should of know what he was doing was wrong but obviously he didnt care, so why should we? for all i care he could of gotten life and maybe! that would of made me feel a little better knowing he wont be out here selling drugs to your kids or even mine.

We all love you and Miss you Irma no matter how much time goes by you will never be forgotten.

I understand people who know this girl are upset, but nobody forced her to purchase the drug, let alone take it...the guy should pay for distributing drugs to society..period..he didn't kill her directly so I think life sentence is a little rough..

This is a really sad story, and I can only imagine what her family and friends went through. But no one forced Irma to take the beans. She chose to, and HER mistake led to her death. I used to roll all the time when I was a freshman, and I loved it. No one ever forced me to or pressured me into it - I wanted to. It's not the dealer's fault she died, It's hers. As far as I'm concerned, this was unintentional suicide, NOT murder. And I hope ecstasy users will rethink their actions. You never really know what's in a roll, and you never know how your body will react. Know your source.

After school, He likes playing games using these buy Asda Story Gold with his friend. I think that it not only costs much money but also spend much time. One day, he give me manycheap Asda Story gold and play the game with me.
