While driving drunk, 14 months ago, he got into a car accident that resulted in the death of his brother-in-law. While he has been supporting his sister&#8217;s family, which, if he hadn&#8217;t killed her husband, wouldn&#8217;t need the support, that doesn&#8217;t change the fact that he is guilty, and plead guilty, to vehicular manslaughter. Nor does it change the fact that by his mere presence in this country he is committing a crime, a crime, by the way, that he was not prosecuted for, nor, apparently, will he be punished for.<br \/>\n<strong>Assistant State&#8217;s Attorney Jennifer Alexander described the sentencing as a &#8220;lose-lose situation&#8221; and told the judge she feared &#8220;re-victimizing&#8221; Mr. Pelaez&#8217;s wife and two children.<\/strong><strong>Like the judge though, she said Lopez needed to be punished for getting behind the wheel with a blood-alcohol content of .13 &#8211; .05 more than the legal limit in Maryland.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He should not have been on the roadway,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Alexander noted Lopez had a clean record before the crash and that the victim&#8217;s family did not attend the hearing.

Sweetheart, had he not been in the country illegaly, his brother-in-law (VICTIM) wouldn&#8217;t be dead!Yeah, punishing the guy responsible for the death of their husband and father is &#8220;Re-victimizing&#8221; them.<br \/>\n<strong>Through an interpreter, Lopez himself asked the judge for lenience.<\/strong><strong>&#8220;I have never done anything bad in my life,&#8221; he said, explaining he regrets everything that happened that night. &#8220;I have to do many things to help my big family.&#8221; Except for that whole Illegal Immigration thing, and the killing his brother-in-law while driving drunk thing, except for those he&#8217;s as pure as the driven snow. What really infuriates me, is that ICE, the re-branded Border Patrol won&#8217;t deport a single person from either of these two families.
