    Man gets 60 years for 3 deaths in Colorado crash (update)

    Man gets 60 years for 3 deaths in Colorado crash

    (AP) – 4 hours ago

    CENTENNIAL, Colo. — An illegal immigrant was sentenced Monday to 60 years in prison for a crash that killed three people, including a 3-year-old boy inside a Colorado ice cream shop.

    Francis Hernandez, 26, of Guatemala was sentenced for the deaths of Marten Kudlis, Deborah Serecky and Patricia Guntharp.

    Marten's father, Murat Kudlis, said during sentencing that he wanted Hernandez to receive the maximum sentence.

    "We miss (Marten) very much," the father said. "My wife is pregnant with a little girl and she will never know her big brother."

    A jury convicted Hernandez of vehicular homicide and other charges in February.

    Prosecutors said Hernandez was driving an SUV at twice the speed limit when it crashed into a pickup truck carrying the two women. The truck then crashed into an ice cream store in the east-Denver suburb of Aurora in September 2008.

    The case sparked calls for immigration reform after it became known that Hernandez had avoided deportation despite a dozen prior arrests in Colorado. Authorities said he used 12 aliases and two dates of birth to slip under the radar of immigration officials.

    Before he was sentenced by District Judge John Wheeler, Hernandez took the stand and read a letter begging for mercy and apologizing to the victims' families. He also said he has two little girls who need him.

    Do they have the same mother and do they or their mother(s) know what his real name is.
    I support enforcement and see its lack as bad for the 3rd World as well. Remittances are now mostly spent on consumption not production assets. Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

    At least his little girls are alive, Marten isn't. He deserves no mercy. Haven't heard if the owner of the SUV is being charged for employing an illegal alien? He/she should!

    The victims in this tragic accident have contacted two different lawyers and initialed law suits against "anyone" potentially responsible. The policies and procedures of the police dept. are also being reviewed. The PD claim to have reported Hernandez to ICE, but ICE has stated they have no record of it.

    I believe these law suits are more important than the 60 yr term. If successful, they will force the PD to report illegal aliens. I hope the lawsuit is successful.

    60-year prison sentence upheld for illegal immigrant in ice cream store crash

    AURORA, Colo. - An Arapahoe County judge won't reduce the 60-year prison sentence for an illegal immigrant convicted of causing a 2008 crash that killed three people in Aurora.

    The Aurora Sentinel reports Francis Hernandez, who was found guilty of vehicular homicide, had asked Judge John Wheeler to consider reducing his sentence. But Wheeler told Hernandez that his actions behind bars have not warranted a lower sentence.

    Records show that Hernandez assaulted another inmate and was caught multiple times with razor blades while in prison.

    Police said Hernandez was going two times the speed limit when he crashed into a truck, killing 49-year-old Patricia Guntharp and 51-year-old Deb Serecky. The impact drove both vehicles into an ice cream shop.

    Inside, waiting for ice cream with his mother, was 3-year-old Marten Kudlis. He died after being pulled from the wreckage.

    Records show Hernandez is an illegal immigrant and had been arrested more than a dozen times by nine different state police departments. Some of the arrests were for criminal impersonation and forgery; the bulk were for traffic violations, including driving without a license and without insurance.

    This is why state and local law enforcement are the best ones to enforce US immigration law and deport illegal aliens. They know who they are, where they are and what they are doing. We need Congress to immediately pass a bill that acknowledges states rights to control and enforce US immigration law and with that the full and complete right, power and authority to deport any and all illegal aliens for any reason they want without any interference or resistance from the ever so incompetent treasonous federal government. Sure the feds can be mandated by the law to supply their records to verify immigration status but E-Verify should be more than adequate absent any other evidence supplied by the illegal aliens.

    This nonsense and the tragedies it causes must end.
