An illegal immigrant was sentenced last Wednesday to life in prison after pleading guilty to murdering a woman in West Virginia. The woman’s body was found burned under a couch on the side of the road last May.

According to The Post Millennial, David Calderon, a 47-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador, was sentenced on Wednesday in the Jefferson County Circuit Court after pleading guilty to the murder of 32-year-old Samantha Dailey as part of an Alford plea, which allows the illegal immigrant to maintain his innocence.

The Post Millennial reported that Dailey’s body was found significantly burned and hidden under a couch. The outlet noted that while Calderon was sentenced to life in prison and will not be eligible for parole for at least 19 years, the illegal immigrant’s sentence gives him the possibility of parole after 15 years.

According to Metro News, during Wednesday’s sentencing, Joshua Dailey, Samantha Dailey’s uncle, criticized law enforcement and immigration officials for allowing Calderon to remain free in the United States after being denied entrance by Canada.
