Thread: IL:Brutal and out of line, ill. alien faces deport. after at

This little article speaks to some of the reasons we need the Arizona law. This person has been in the country since at least '91 and has been committing crimes. It is shocking that he has also been in the country possibly 20 years and still needed an interpreter in court. He's a changed man? I don't think so. It is perplexing that the article mentions that federal authorities 'may' decide to deport him.


'Brutal and out of line'
Illegal immigrant faces deportation for attack

After violently throwing his ex-girlfriend against the wall and then dragging her up a flight of stairs to a bedroom, Eduardo Juarez of Round Lake Beach man then attempted to choke the woman to death.

Pretending to be dead, the woman then listened to Juarez talk on the phone, discussing how to dispose of her body, according to Assistant State's Attorney Fred Day.


"This altercation with the defendant nearly cost her life," Day said at the man's sentencing hearing Friday.

In January, a jury found Juarez, 39, guilty of unlawful restraint and battery for the April 4, 2009, attack. The jury acquitted him of attempted murder and aggravated battery.

"What happened in this case was brutal and out of line," Associate Judge Daniel Shanes said.

He sentenced Juarez to three years in prison, the maximum penalty.

Day asked the court to impose the three-year sentence, calling the defendant's actions "heinously cruel" behavior.

"The defendant is a man of many faces. He is a master manipulator. I imagine he feels he is in control as he sits at the defendant table," Day said.

Defense attorney Eric Rinehardt asked the court for probation instead of prison.

"He has alcohol and perhaps anger issues -- exactly the situation for probation and counseling," Rinehardt said.

He also said Juarez has been involved in church and baptized since the incident.

Shanes said it was "good" that Juarez was attending church because it shows that he is "trying to reach improvement."

However, Shanes proceeded to list the Juarez's criminal history, which includes a battery in 1991, attempted forgery in 1992, obstruction of justice in 2000 and a federal crime that resulted in deportation in 2002.

A few months after being deported, Juarez returned to the United States illegally, Shanes said.

"Some would say that by being here in the country illegally, the defendant is committing a crime every day," Shanes said.

Federal authorities may decide to deport Juarez after he serves his prison sentence, Shanes said.

Juarez addressed the court through an interpreter and talked about how he was trying to change himself by going to church.

"I do want to ask for forgiveness and to get the opportunity to show I can be a better person," Juarez said.

I wondered if you would post this before I had the chance.

Fine upstanding young man who goes to church and has been baptised. This is the kind of person Obama wants to amnesty.

DEPORT HIM.

Yeah, give him three years in jail where we must feed and clothe him. Plus he gets free exercise equipment, porn videos & magazines, lots of criminal contacts (for later when he is released) and free room and board. Priceless.

stries like this are typical in illinois. i cant wait for brady to take the gov seat, he will do the same as brewer in short order.time to shoo out these criminals once and for all!

Federal authorities may decide to deport Juarez after he serves his prison sentence, Shanes said.

MAY decide to deport him????????

Where are the federal charges? Coming back, without authorization, after deportation is a federal crime! When folk are non-voluntarily deported, they aren't allowed back for ten years, and in some cases never.

They MAY need a conviction before deportation, but I could also assume that since he's already been deported, they can deport at any time.
