KRLA News ^ | OCt 12, 2007

Posted on 10/12/2007 9:31:30 AM PDT by skeeter

A man convicted of causing a crash on Pacific Coast Highway that killed the director of "A Christmas Story'' and his son is scheduled to be sentenced today.

Hector Manuel Velazquez-Nava faces a six-year state prison term.

Velazquez-Nava pleaded no contest to two counts of manslaughter in August in the deaths of Robert Clark and his son, Ariel Hanrath-Clark.

Authorities said Velazquez-Nava, an illegal immigrant, had a blood-alcohol content of .24 -- three times the legal limit.

I hate drunk drivers. An illegal alien drunk driver murdered my friend right after we graduated college. When drunk drivers finally succeed in murdering someone they have already been charged with DUI several times and are often driving with a suspended license. WHEN will the courts take this seriously?

We love that movie. How sad.

The illegal criminal is only “looking” at 6 years behind bars for killing 2 people? Even if he got the max, he’ll be out in 2 years. I don’t supose he’ll get any time for DUI, driving without a license, or being here illegally. We should have a counter for all the US citizens killed by illegals.

I see Hector jumping out thru the bathroom window and skeedaddling southward between the sentencing and before his first day of whatever paltry sentence he receives.

Hopefully the cops let his contact the Mexican Consulate, or he won’t even two six months...

This is exactly why the beloved Elliot Spitzer of NY has issued a decree granting drivers licenses to illegals. If they have licenses they will buy insurance, stop drinking and there will be no accidents. What could make more sense than that. Yet the “rabid right”, as Spitzer calls them, object. Unbelievable.

Forget prison. He ought to be dropped off by helicopter at the Mexican consulate. From 3,000 feet.
