Teen charged with intoxication manslaughter
ARLINGTON -- A woman died, and two children and an adult were injured in an alcohol-related accident about midnight Friday in south Arlington, authorities said.
Nogaelda Zavala, 38, was pronounced dead at the accident scene in the 600 block of Debbie Lane, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner's office. Two children in Zavala's car -- Angel Zavala, 3, and Anna Zavala, 14 -- were taken to Cook Childrens Medical Center with serious injuries that were not life-threatening, police said.
Police arrested Brandon Lee Burchfield, 17, and he was in the Arlington Jail on Saturday facing a charge of intoxication manslaughter and three charges of intoxication assault, the jail log showed. Bail had not been set.
A passenger in Burchfield's truck, Charles James Osborn, 19, was taken to Dallas Methodist Medical Center by helicopter ambulance and was listed in critical condition, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Burchfield was driving a 2005 Dodge Ram westbound in the 800 block of Debbie Lane, and Nogaelda Zavala was approaching him in her 2003 Ford Taurus, according to police. Burchfield's truck crossed over the center dividing line and struck the Taurus head-on, police said.

Well, I'm outraged by drunk driver's killing innocent people. Even when they aren't illegal aliens.

Prayers for the victim, the injured children, adult & the family. I hope the drunk is treated as an adult & faces charges as an adult. He needs jail time IMHO. Pandora

Was I supposed to be mad at the fact he wasn’t a Mexican?
Or that he killed someone with a Latino last name?

Agreed. The little puke felt big enough to get intoxicated, let him feel big enough to share a toilet with no seat with big strangers who think his mouth looks perty.

I am not sure what you are looking for.
Drunk driving is disgusting and those driving drunk should be prosecuted.
It appears the perp will be charged and serve time.
What are you looking for?

Just for old times sake, I'll repeat. (since it's you Dane)
My Position from the start has been:
If we need people we can process in new citizens who have never committed any crime including entering illegally.
And who are drawn from every country in the world
From Iceland To South Africa, From Norway to South Korea
Every corner of the globe, not giving ANY preference to the few nations to our immediate south.
My Position Has Not Changed.
I also have no problem with prosecuting a drunk driver who kills people, even if the people are criminals like drug dealers or illegal aliens.

It is totally outrageous: the perp will be tried and likely convicted, and he will even be able to respond to the prosecutor in English. Outrageous. Shocking.
Would someone tell me what this thread is about?

Ya know dane...I wasn’t so outraged about the fact that an illegal immigrant killed a good friend of mine’s wife.
I was OUTRAGED at the fact the local Mexican consular got him off and took him back to Mexico.
Do you see the difference dane?
Do you think I would’ve gotten the same treatment dane?

Is he trying to figure out why a political forum gets up in arms about the problems illegal immigrants create?
I would assume the answer “because it’s about holding those in charge of those very matters accountable” would be quick to come to mind.
Maybe I’m assuming wrong?
