YAKIMA - A double-expulsion of illegal immigrants with a history of drug arrests has been sentenced to death for circulating an educator Yakima Valley Community College.

A Yakima County Superior Court jury deliberated for just half an hour Thursday before finding Marcos Ramos Medina, 35 years, most recently in Portland, guilty of manslaughter in his retrial.

Medina faces 2 1 / 2 to five years in prison when he is sentenced Nov. 16 for the death of Peggy Keller, 53, a radiology expert and dean of distance education and technical services to the school with two years.

Keller was on his way to an education conference in Vancouver, Washington, at Medinah in 1997 Chevrolet Lumina crossed the center line and struck a 2000 Lexus around the head on Route 97 between Goldendale and Toppenish, the August 4, 2005.

She was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to the testimony of a toxicologist State, Barry Logan, a blood test following the crash showed that Medina had a high concentration of methamphetamine in his system, adding that the miles of erratic driving described by witnesses and his mood swings after the accident were indications of drug-induced exhaustion.

Testifying in his own defense Thursday, Medina said he was exhausted after a trip to sell a pickup in Portland, got very little sleep for several days because of widespread fighting with the fear and nervousness and had given the pills by a friend the day before the accident.

Defence lawyers did not dispute that Medina was to blame, but argued that his conduct was reckless or negligent, which would be treated less harshly under the law, rather than impaired driving, which is a case against manslaughter.

if we did not have all the more crime from illegal immigrants that we would be able to focus on our own drunks, rapists, murderers ..... with any additional crimes committed by illegal evil we deal with ours.
Of course, maybe that person could have been affected by a legal citizen, but because he thinks that the problem should have been Was not take care of you from the go. this guy has been deported twice and he always came back. It would have been thrown in jail for the second time he was taken. What people do not notice this guy has broken more than one law ... First he killed someone, he took drugs more, he simply broke the law, again, by coming here illegally. Just the simple act of crossing the border should be enough to store for long enough.
since this problem has not been taking care, early now, we have a citizen dead on our hands. another strike against illegal immigrants.

We have a great economy, it attracts people. With these people we can get their notions of justice and ethics. If our laws were applied, these people are here to cause problems.
Once we set aside a law, all laws are ignored.

Sad, sad outcome ... Yes, the immigration laws have been applied since the incident first. Some people do not deserve the privilege and blessing of this Land.
In this situation, it should never be released without bail, but comply with a sentence and then be expelled from the very first time

Your time, your time, no matter who or what, if it was not him, it would have been someone else. Nothing is a random act.
