According to attorneys defending Raul Benitez-Santana, the automotive accident that triggered the dying of a Washington state patrol trooper in March 2024 was not against the law. It was only a automotive accident. You can see the lawyer convey her argument down:
…Illegally within the nation.
…When he hits a trooper’s automotive, he drives over 100 mph.
…I admitted to smoking marijuana earlier than moving into his automotive.
…I admitted to consuming beer earlier than moving into his automotive.
…I used to be driving recklessly within the passing lane.
…I blew away .047 with Breathalyzer. This is under the authorized restrict of .08, nevertheless it blew three hours after the accident.
According to numerous reviews, 27-year-old Tru Parklistopher M. Gadd was parked on the shoulder of an interstate at about 3am final March when an unlawful alien, shielded from deportation underneath the Democrat-run loopy sanctuary regulation, attacked a trooper cruiser from behind 107 mph. Santana’s automotive bouncing again into the site visitors lane, the place he was struck by a van carrying six folks. The driver of the van had a damaged wrist.
Troopergad left his younger spouse and daughter behind.
If both of them is true – what’s the half that’s not against the law once more?
Incredibly, the 33-year-old unlawful alien protection workforce has beforehand tried to dismiss your entire case with allegations that prosecutors conspired with immigration officers in violation of Washington’s sanctuary regulation. The protection argued that by revealing Santana’s unlawful standing, the regulation ought to be damaged and your entire lawsuit ought to be thrown. The decide refused the request.
Santana was illegally within the nation for 10 years, in response to Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Everyone, together with unlawful aliens, deserves the most effective protection accessible. No one is claiming that. Now, do not get me incorrect. Regardless of the decision, this man have to be despatched again to the Mexican Pronto. But in relation to crime itself, he deserves the most effective protection. It should make that declare earlier than the nation is allowed to strip you of your freedom. But from what I’m seeing, the subsequent defence argument just isn’t a lot defensive within the face of car homicide fees.
Benitez-Santana’s protection claimed it was darkish and Gadd’s automobile had no lights on, and Benitez-Santana claimed he noticed the automotive’s lights come out a second earlier than the crash. Prosecutors rebutted, claiming that his driving within the freeway passing lane was reckless whatever the circumstances.
Intent has nothing to do with the crime of car homicide. If negligence is sufficient and I’m on the ju umpire and I’m pressured to consider that Santana is driving greater than 100 mph, he’ll go to jail. If he can show he drove at this pace after he consumed beer and alcohol, he goes to jail with a 350 pound cellmate referred to as Trixie.
Benitez Santana has a number of earlier convictions to drive with a suspended license, a number of tickets for rushing (together with pace limits of 49 mph), and a number of home violence safety orders.
If that is all true, the Democrats who run Washington state refused to melt the time bomb by deporting him.
