Hit-and-run driver gets 10 years

Before a judge sentenced her to prison Friday, the woman convicted of fatally dragging toddler Elijah Cozart beneath her truck last year in Towson finally spoke to the boy?s family.

“I want to go to the child?s grave to ask for forgiveness on my knees and to bring flowers,” Lazara Arellano de Hogue, 41, said through a translator in Baltimore County Circuit Court. “… I ask God why did you kill him instead of me? I wish 1,000 times I died instead of him.”
