Travis Limoz, who was convicted in May of manslaughter for the August 2000 death of Cecil Edward Mosley, could have received 10 years' probation and up to a year in jail. But Circuit Court Judge Wilfred Watanabe instead delivered the maximum term.

It will be up to the Hawai'i Paroling Authority to determine what will be the minimum time Limoz will have to serve before he is eligible for parole.

Mosley was a 23-year-old security guard and former 'Aiea High School football standout.

According to police reports, Mosley tried to stop Limoz's car about 4 a.m. on Aug. 13, 2000, near the intersection of Kalauokalani Way and Kapi'olani Boulevard. Mosley believed that another man who had just robbed his friends had gotten into Limoz's car and that Limoz and the suspect were trying to flee the area.

Limoz kept driving after the impact and sent the 6-foot-7, 350-pound Mosley sprawled across the car's hood. Limoz continued for about 500 feet before jamming on the brakes.

Mosley suffered severe head injuries when he was thrown from the vehicle, and died several days later at The Queen's Medical Center.

Six family members took turns blasting Limoz for the death of the loved one they all called by his middle name, Edward.

"I can have nothing in my heart until the day I die but hatred for him," said Mosley's father, Cecil Gary Mosley, tears streaming down his face as he faced the judge and the man who killed his son.

He said Limoz went out of his way to run down his son, who then begged Limoz to stop driving.

"I would like to know if he remembers the sound of my son's voice as he pleaded for his life," the father said.

The victim's uncle, Steven Mosley, kept asking Limoz if he knew the pain his actions had caused.

"What kind of human being are you?" he said. "You're a savage. You came into this courtroom smiling and laughing."

Shaking as he turned to face Limoz, Steven Mosley told the court he was filled with anger and sadness.

"You can't even look at us, can you?" he said to Limoz, who stared only at his handcuffs. "And you have no tears. You don't even realize what you've done."
