Pomona woman sentenced to 47 years in prison for deadly crash  A
Pomona woman received a 47-year state prison sentence Tuesday
for causing a crash that killed a man and his pregnant
girlfriend in 2011.  Lorraine Martinez, 26, was found guilty by
a jury in Pomona Superior Court in March of three counts of
murder and one count of grand theft auto, Pomona police said.
Police say Martinez was driving a stolen car east on Holt Avenue
on Aug. 1 when she broadsided a 1995 Nissan Maxima at Garey
Avenue.  The impact broke the Maxima in half and caused it to
burst into flames.  Miguel Herrera, 22, and his 17-year-old
girlfriend, Desiree Grajeda, both of Pomona, died and were
burned beyond recognition. Grajeda was in her third trimester.
Martinez tried to flee the crash, but was captured. She admitted
to being high on methamphetamine, police said.  Martinez had
been given an early release from jail the day before on a
separate misdemeanor case, which included drug charges and
threatening someone with a deadly weapon.
