An illegal immigrant involved in a fatal car accident that killed an Evesham teacher will not be charged with vehicular homicide.

Burlington County Prosecutor Robert D. Bernardi announced Tuesday that a grand jury declined to charge Jose Luis Galindo-Sanchez with vehicular homicide for the April 8 crash on Route 70 in Evesham that claimed the life of Amy Voorhees.

The grand jury also declined to indict Galindo-Sanchez on separate charges for hindering apprehension, obstruction of justice and witness tampering.

In a prepared statement Bernardi described it as a “difficult decision but one that obviously reflected a careful and thoughtful evaluation of the evidence and the law.â€

I don't get it??? Why No Charges???
Was the illegal Obama's Aunt? Half-Brother? WHAT!

Did he have a drivers license and what state issued it?

Think about how this illogical ruling affects all of them! Knowing that their wife/friend/relative/teacher was killled and the man who did it walked off with nothing. The men and women who ruled in favor of Mr. Galindo-Sanchez should be ashamed of themselves. This man carelessly ran a red light and crashed into Mrs. Voorhees’ vehicle, and that’s not “recklessâ€

Assemblywoman Dawn Marie Addiego and Assemblyman Scott Rudder today vowed to work tirelessly in support of their immigration reform package after a grand jury failed to indict an illegal immigrant and unlicensed driver in the accident that killed a 27-year-old Evesham teacher.

Democrats propose legislation to allow prosecution of illegal immigrant drivers

By BCDC

Democratic State Assembly candidates Bill Brown and Debbie Sarcone today unveiled legislation that would increase the penalties faced by individuals who cause a motor vehicle accident when they are in the United States illegally – and to extend the penalties to punish those who allow illegal drivers to operate motor vehicles.


Brown and Sarcone, who are running for seats in the Eighth Legislative District, said the legislation is in response to the tragic motor vehicle accident this past April that took the life of a popular Evesham Township school teacher, and the subsequent inability of law enforcement officials to fully prosecute those charged for their actions.
