Illegal immigrant found guilty of murder in fatal N.C. crash
The Associated Press
SALISBURY, N.C. --An illegal immigrant who drove drunk in Rowan County has been found guilty of second-degree murder in the death of a pregnant woman.
A jury handed down the verdict for Rigo Verto Guillen-Martinez, who federal investigators have said is in the U.S. illegally from El Salvador.
Police have said he had a blood alcohol level more than three times the legal limit when he slammed into 20-year-old Leeanna Newman's Saturn Feb. 6 in Landis. Newman and her unborn baby died a short time later. Her 21-month-old daughter was in a car seat and suffered minor injuries.
Guillen-Martinez's lawyer had argued that his client couldn't be guilty of murder because there was no malice in his actions.
Guillen-Martinez will be sentenced Thursday. He could receive up to 30 years in prison.Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country.
