Texas -- The driver of the bus that erupted into flames last month, killing 23 Bellaire nursing home residents as they were transported out of Hurricane Rita's path, now faces criminal charges for each of the passengers' deaths.
Juan Robles Gutierrez, 37, currently in federal custody in Texas, was charged late Friday by the Dallas County Sheriff's Department with 23 counts of negligent homicide. Each count carries a maximum penalty of up to two years in a state jail facility and $10,000 fine.
