WILMETTE -- A Wilmette man was sentenced to nine years in prison on Wednesday after he pleaded guilty to attempted murder charges for running over his ex-girlfriend with a pickup truck as she jogged on a sidewalk in Wilmette two years ago.
Gilberto Archer, 22, of the 100 block of Dupee Place, apologized for the crime shortly before he was sentenced by Cook County Circuit Judge Garritt Howard at the Skokie courthouse.
"I wish I never did it," Archer told the court. "She's a good person."
Archer was arrested shortly after he drove his pickup truck onto the sidewalk in May 2005 and hit the then-18-year-old woman victim as she jogged near her home. Prosecutors said she was knocked unconscious and got a concussion, lacerations and a broken jaw. They said Archer jumped out of his truck, punched her and punched a man who tried to intervene.
Defense attorney William Hedrick said Archer is mentally impaired as a result of childhood illnesses and asked that he be kept in a secure hospital ward for treatment while in prison.
