A hit-and-run driver who killed a pregnant 21-year-old woman, her husband and their unborn child  has been sentenced to life in prison. Julio 'Wemo' Acevedo, 46, was found guilty of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide after driving away from the scene of an accident that instantly killed Nachman and Raizel Glauber in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The driver, who was convicted in February, is thought to have been traveling in his BMW at 70mph, twice the speed limit, when the incident occurred just after midnight on March 3, 2013.

Nachman and Raizel Glaubers, who were 7 months pregnant at the time of the crash, were heading to the hospital in this Toyota Camry livery cab when they were killed . The car the Glaubers were riding in was T-boned by this BMW at an intersection in Williamsburg, Brooklyn . He repeated that the crash was an accident as he was sentenced on Monday and said that he was remorseful, according to CBS New York. The 21-year-old Glaubers, who were married in 2012, were not wearing seat belts when the Toyota Camry they were riding in was T-boned by Acevedo at an intersection. Acevedo did not get out to help the young family and a witness said that he looked inside their livery cab before leaving on foot. Doctors at Bellevue Hospital were able to deliver the 21-year-old Glauber's baby boy, but the child died the next day. Acevedo's criminally negligent homicide conviction stemmed from the death of the baby. The family's Orthodox Jewish community, which had thousands of members gather to mourn the couple, offered a $15,000 award for information leading to the arrest of Acevedo, who left the scene and could not be found in the days after the crash. He was eventually taken into custody four days after the accident, when he surrendered himself to police after arranging to meet them in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Acevedo has a history of felonies, including a 1987 murder conviction that was overturned in 1997 because of new evidence showing that he was under duress when he killed Kevin '50 Cent' Martin, who inspired the name of rapper Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson. He later accepted a plea deal combining a manslaughter charge in the same case with a charge for a robbery he committed 12 days after being released. There are also gun and drug convictions on Acevedo's rap sheet, and he was awaiting an April court date for drunk driving when he hit the Glaubers. Acevedo, pictured after his Pennsylvania arrest in 2013, has a long rap sheet including previous convictions for manslaughter as well as gun and drug offences . Acevedo, pictured after arrest, was said to be going 70mph, twice the speed limit, when he ran into the Glaubers . The judge at Monday's sentencing said that because of his criminal pas  Acevedo was receiving a harsher sentence than the normal 15 year maximum for manslaughter. The criminal told reporters after his hit-and-run arrest that his illegal speeding was because he was afraid of being shot by someone who pulled out a gun and said, 'Nothing is ever forgotten.' The alleged incident may have been connected to his  killing of  Martin, according to the Daily Beast. The BMW driver said that he was not going 70mph and had not been drinking before the crash. The Glaubers' cab driver Pedro Nunez Delacruz, 32 at the time, sustained minor industries but survived, the New York Post reported. Relatives of the Glaubers were emotional as the verdict came down on Monday. 'There are no words that can adequately express the pain and anguish that we have endured in the last two years,' Nachman's mother, Henny Glauber said.
