Illegal immigrant sentenced in death of teens

Virginia Beach, VA - An illegal immigrant who pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in a car crash that killed two teenage girls was sentenced Monday to 24 years in prison.

Police said Alfredo Ramos’ blood-alcohol level was three times the legal limit on March 30 when his vehicle plowed into a car carrying 17-year-old Alison Kunhardt and 16-year-old Tessa Tranchant.

The case sparked an uproar locally and beyond. Conservative TV personality Bill O’Reilly upbraided Virginia Beach authorities for failing to report Ramos to immigration officials before the accident. Ramos had three prior criminal convictions involving alcohol.

Fellow Fox News host Geraldo Rivera accused O’Reilly of improperly turning a drunken-driving case into an illegal immigration issue.
