COLUMBIA, SC An undocumented Mexican immigrant received the maximum 15-year sentence for felony DUI causing great bodily injury Thursday morning in a Richland County courtroom.
Santos Gomez, 48, who his attorney said slipped into the country illegally, pleaded guilty and apologized in Spanish just before State Circuit Judge Michael Nettles pronounced sentence.
I never wanted to cause harm to anybody, an interpreter translated for Gomez.
Gomez was high on a mix of beer and methamphetamine in September 2012 when his car traveling at 70 mph the wrong way down I-77 just north of Columbia smashed into a car in which Alan Martinez was driving, assistant 5th Circuit Solicitor Carter Potts told Nettles.
Martinez, a second-year University of South Carolina law school student and U.S. Air Force Academy graduate, suffered massive body and brain injuries and was in a coma three months.

Martinez, a second-year University of South Carolina law school student and U.S. Air Force Academy graduate, suffered massive body and brain injuries and was in a coma three months.
Today, he requires 24-hour nursing care and millions of dollars likely will be spent on his health care the rest of his life, according to people who spoke at the hearing at the Richland County courthouse.
This illegal alien will never have to pay a dime for any of this.llegal aliens out there demanding their rights,we demand our right to keep illegal aliens out of America so they do not get drunk drive the wrong way down I-77 70 mph the wrong way and has robbed a young man his right to live a normal life and he will spend the rest of his life most likely in a nursing home and after the illegal will be eligible for parole after serving one-fourth the time
methamphetamine = energy pill —uh huh
They should cut him up for spare parts, assuming of course there are any usable parts on a meth user.
15 years that all. He’ll be be out in 5 with good behavior and hit the bars again.
An undocumented Mexican immigrant”
...that’s a mouthful. Libs sure do go out of their way to piss off good Americans!
Santos Gomez, 48, who his attorney said slipped into the country illegally,
_____________________________________
that seems to happen a lot..
Illegal aliens slip and fall into our country..
“HELP !! Ive fallen into the US and I cant get up and go home”
I hate to bring it up but was just wondering how the Martinez family feels about illegal aliens.....just asking!!!
We're supposed to feel sorry for this POS? He didn't leave Mexico to provide for his family he obviously left Mexico to get high and drunk. There isn't anything than can be done to him to pay back for what he did. Speedy execution might be best. He'll be out in 45 months doing exactly the same thing again.
So.... now Gomez gets fifteen years of free room and board, plus medical benefits, courtesy of the American taxpayer.
Makes a Twenty-first Century kinda sense.
I got rear-ended by a drunk illegal several years ago but luckily no damage to me, just the car. Local police caught him but he was out of jail in 2 days and has not been seen since. Our system is broken.
How’zabout that. Sentenced to 15 years?
For a nanosecond there, I thought I was going to read Obozo was giving this taco-frito the Congressional Medal of Honor for his crime.
The pols are being coached by Mexico and other Third Worlds. The goal is to undermine US ntl security and tear down democracy.
Clearly the pressure is building across the border, as conniving Mexico pushes North to begin Reconquista.
Obama is facilitating the takeover b/c he hates America as much as the invaders do....AND he needs Third World pressure groups to keep Demonrats in power.
===========================================
Let's not forget---the Mexican border is the staging area for global terrorists, the criminal latino uderworld, Third World lowlifes, drug cartels, savage latinos, and the like..... come to Mexico to crossover into the US. It's open season to conduct dirty deeds.
Vicious Mexican gangs, drug cartels and terrorists are operating freely, setting up shop, right under the noses of vote-crazed US pols who will do anything to stay in power.
Hog-tying amnesty pol-pimps to these crimes should make them think twice.
