LA woman paroled in deadly fire deported to Mexico
Mar. 18, 2010
LOS ANGELES — A clothing store owner who spent 23 years behind bars for a deadly arson fire after proclaiming her innocence was paroled from state prison and deported to Mexico on Thursday.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said Maria Rosa “Rosie” Sanchez was released from the state California Institution for Women in Chino and deported by immigration authorities at the San Ysidro border crossing.
ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice said Sanchez is a convicted felon with no lawful status in the U.S.
“She was made aware of her rights and the process was explained to her,” Kice said. She declined to describe Sanchez’s response.
Sanchez, who owned a small clothing store, said she was at home when another store in the same building went up in flames in December 1985. A man died in the fire, and Sanchez was convicted of first-degree murder and arson. In 1987, she was sentenced to 25 years to life.
The USC law students who helped Sanchez win parole are preparing to ask Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to pardon Sanchez so she can visit with her adult children (USA Anchor babies...), who waited for years to bring their mother home.
