Former NYPD officer Joseph Gray was sentenced Thursday to 15 years in prison for wiping out a family of four last August while driving drunk in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Victor Herrera, who lost his wife, two infant sons and sister-in-law in the accident, said 15 years was too lenient for the disgraced cop. "Fifteen years is not enough for a person who is arrogant and thinks he did nothing wrong," he said.
