Two men convicted of a high-speed crash that killed a Richmond Hill, Ont. couple will not serve any time in jail. The pair received conditional sentences from a Newmarket judge.

Ruben Rodrigues, the driver of the car who crashed into the couple, was sentenced on Wednesday morning to two years of house arrest. The 20-year-old Maple resident was also given a five-year driving ban. He pleaded guilty to two counts of dangerous driving causing death.

Marco Gasparro, 19, of Richmond Hill, was given two years' probation. He was also fined $2,000 and banned from driving for 18 months. He pleaded guilty to dangerous driving.

After celebrating their 17th wedding anniversary last year, Rob and Lisa Manchester were killed when their vehicle was struck by one of two speeding cars, reportedly travelling 150 km/h.

They were survived by their 8-year-old daughter, Katie, who made an emotional victim impact statement in August.

The judge in the case said Rodrigues and Gasparro were not street racing, but speeding. The pair was not intoxicated and did not run a red light at the intersection where the crash occurred, court heard.

The judge also took into account Rob Manchester had nearly twice the legal limit of alcohol in his system when his car was hit.

York police Sgt. Dave Mitchell was disappointed the judge did not label the incident street racing.

"We hear evidence of two young men speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, showing off to each other, driving aggressively. To anybody else that is the definition of street racing," Mitchell said.

Katie's aunt, Cathy Gray, was upset by the judgment.

"(The sentences are) not strong enough or long enough to bring Lisa or Rob back," Gray told reporters outside the courthouse.

"If we don't have stricter laws or some deterrents, somebody else is going to get killed, somebody else is going to lose a father or a mother or a brother or a sister and leave some child without any family."

The Crown had sought a two-year jail term for Rodrigues and six months for Gasparro, while the defence asked for house arrest.

Neither Rodrigues nor Gasparro commented to the media after sentencing.
