Illegal Gets Prison for Manslaughter

(Harrisburg, Pennsylvania) A 20-year-old illegal alien from Honduras, Jose Roberto Castro-Gomez, pleaded guilty last week to two felonies related to a November 2006 car crash that killed his passenger.

Police say that early on the morning of Nov. 30, Castro-Gomez drove off U.S. 33, west of Harrisonburg and crashed into a tree. Gualberto Patricio Garcia, 21, of Harrisonburg, died from injuries sustained in the wreck.

Castro-Gomez was sentenced to one year in prison for involuntary manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident. He will also face a deportation hearing.

No information was provided regarding the criminal history, if any, of Castro-Gomez. Nonetheless, he'll spend a year in prison, probably be deported to Honduras and then likely return to Pennsylvania.
