That's a crime even if she was the one driving.

Let's assume that she drove and he was the passenger. Is life or stringing him up as others have suggested in this thread the appropriate response? Were he not an illegal alien would people be reacting so strongly? Fleeing the scene of an accident is indeed a crime, does it call for the death penalty? Does crossing the border illegally call for the death penalty? Does forging a drivers license or SSN card call for the death penalty? What is the penalty to be for simply being the passenger in a car where the driver commits manslaughter(assuming he did not cause the accident somehow)? Is it death? I am looking at these as being seperate crimes with the punishment for each one needing to be handled individually.

What I am questioning overall is what I consider to be a mob mentality similar to what you might see in a Hollywood western where they lay siege to the jail demanding that the prisoner be dragged out and hung without a trial.

I'm starting to think that that is the only way that the govt. will change their laissez faire method of dealing with the invasion taking place.

That is true, the death penalty is not appropriate here.

Still, I certainly hope I would also be outraged by an American couple who stole people’s identities, drove recklessly into a bus full of schoolchildren and tried to run away from the crime scene and blame each other for it. It’s terrible behavior no matter who did it. Scamming the immigration system is just one more thing in the list of immoral things they did.

If it was a simple accident and the couple seemed sorry, for example if a kid on a bike pulled out in front of their car and they hit him and the woman ran to call the ambulance while the man tried to perform CPR, then I think there wouldnt be so much bad feelings about it. This woman acts like she is the victim here and the man still is hiding from the law.

It is the lawyers job to try to get her off of this charge. He’s had some time to cook up this story and to find someone to be a witness. Now much later, the only people to see the MISSING boyfriend are probably ILLEGALS themselves. Why else would they say “if they’re not available at trial.” & “The witness was a co-worker of Franco’s boyfriend, but did not witness the accident” How convenient. My bet is that they know the perp and are willing to say anything to get her off with as light a sentence as possible. The impact to turn over a school bus wouldn’t be something most would be able to run from. Since children died, why didn’t these witnesses come forward right away? Where did the co-worker take the boyfriend? Will the co-worker now face any charges since homicide is involved? The other witnesses saw a man running from the scene. How would they know if it was the boyfriend?
Remember telling lies comes very easy to these ILLEGALS as her story and names prove. Since she lied before, the lawyers will be able to ask that old stand by in court, Were You Lying Then or Are You Lying Now?
