Betrayal of the mother of two - who both were killed by the drunken actions of an illegal alien named Pastor Rios Sanchez (pictured) - compounds the tragedy of her children’s untimely deaths. If citizens cannot turn to district attorneys and other government officials for justice, in what kind of country do we live?
Illegal Alien Killer of Three American Children to Be Offered Plea Deal
By The Editors
In one of the more despicable acts committed in this Washington, DC-sanctioned illegal alien disaster that plagues our country and all law-abiding citizens within it, today in Sanford, North Carolina, an illegal alien named Pastor Rios Sanchez, killer of three American children, will be offered an opportunity to walk away from the responsibility he bears for this dreadful and tragic crime.
Lee County Assistant District Attorney Mike Beam, in a shameful and disgusting act that will be repudiated by all decent Americans, plans to offer Rios a chance to plead guilty to three counts of mere involuntary manslaughter and face only 16 to 20 months in prison for each count.
Reporting on the incident, Gordon Anderson of the Sanford Herald in Sanford, North Carolina, had this to say:
The news has Dannon Forbes of Columbia, S.C., fuming. Forbes is the mother of 16*year-old Ben Leonard and 22*year-old Megan Hughes, both of whom were killed on Oct. 27 when Rios, 55, slammed head-on into their vehicle on Avent’s Ferry Road. Jennifer Carter, 18, a friend from Jacksonville of the other two victims, also died in the accident.
Forbes said she hopes the presiding judge will reject the plea deal. “All I know is that I have to keep fighting this,” she said. “The D.A.’s office was supposed to be defending my kids, and it looks like they won’t.”
State troopers said at the time of the accident that Rios was drunk and in the United States illegally. Originally, he was also charged with several traffic violations including driving while impaired. Those charges will reportedly be dropped under the plea arrangement, Forbes said. For any sentence Rios receives, he’ll be given credit for the 10 months he’s served since his October arrest.
Now there's an ADA who should be driving a cab--in India--for a living. Attorneys in any court system who use this type of crime for the application of a plea-bargain should suffer some sort of punishment for horribly poor judgment. This is outrageous.
They got more rights then the Americans - I do not condone any of these crimes, even if it's a US Citizen - It just seems these illegals get slapped ont he hand and release back into OUR society........
I am shocked, just shocked. I can't even imagine how that poor mother must feel knowing that the illegal alien criminal who murdered her children might get just a slap on the wrist what the horrendous crimes he committed.
I am the best friend of Jennifer Elaine Carter, one of the people, Mr. Sanchez killed on Friday, October 27, 2006. It outrages and disgusts me at the sentence given to him. The punishment does not fit the crime. That night my best friend was taken away from this world and the District Attorney and the Defense Attorney of the case seem to have little respect for the lives that were ruined by Mr. Sanchez. He not only ruined the life of the three people killed, but he also ruined the lives of their family and their friends. I do hope that the DA reconsiders this plea because any decent human-being would see that it is not fair.
