What do you think Survived Iraq, Come Home To Be Killed By An Illegal Alien?

December 19th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

A 26-year-old driver who registered four times the legal limit for driving while intoxicated on a breath test pleaded guilty in Howard County Circuit Court this afternoon to causing a crash that killed a Marine corporal and his date at a Columbia intersection on Thanksgiving night last year.

Eduardo Raul Morales-Soriano of Laurel pleaded guilty to two counts of negligent manslaughter in the deaths of Cpl. Brian Mathews, 21, of Columbia, and Jennifer Bower, 24, of Montgomery Village.

He will be sentenced Nov. 29. Prosecutors said they will ask Judge Lenore Gelfman to impose a term of eight years in prison, the maximum under state sentencing guidelines
After he completes his sentence, Morales-Soriano is expected to be deported, said State’s Attorney Timothy J. McCrone. Authorities believe he entered the country illegally from Mexico, McCrone said.

Morales-Soriano, who worked as a landscaper in Montgomery County, slammed his Nissan Sentra into the rear of a Toyota Corolla driven by Bower that had stopped at a red light on Route 175 at Route 108.

He had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.32, according to a Breathalyzer test administered by police. Under state law, a motorist is considered to be driving while intoxicated with a level of 0.08 or higher.

Mathews, a 2003 Howard High School graduate based at Camp Pendleton, Calif., had come home for the holidays and was on his second date with Bower when the crash occurred. He had finished serving eight months of duty in Iraq in 2005 and was due to leave the military this year.

Prior to last year’s fatal crash, Morales-Soriano was charged in Prince George’s County with negligent driving, speeding and driving the wrong way on a one-way street after being stopped in Riverdale in July 2006. He was found not guilty, according to court records.

In February 2006, he was given four citations after an auto accident in a Columbia parking lot in which he refused to take a Breathalyzer test. No one was injured and prosecutors later dropped the charges, citing weak evidence.

He used a driver’s license issued in North Carolina in 2004 to legally obtain a Maryland driver’s license in 2005.

    So sad to lose young people with their whole life ahead of them.
    America is a war zone, our government refuses to realize it.

    Sounds like they fought the wrong war.

    To the idiot who said it didn’t have anything to do with one’s own life – WTF? We’re supposed to ignore the deaths of our own citizens when they’re caused by illegal scum? You’re starting to sound like our own government!!

    Eight years? That’s the maximum? He should get life X 2, one for each worthwhile life he took.

    I’ll keep reading until you can post a crime other than being illegal, that can not be committed by a U.S. citizen.
    Until then all I will do is post article for an article.
    I do not buy into the "if they weren’t here", maybe that crime may not have happened but I strongly believe if its your time hiding in the house won’t keep you alive for any more time than was given you at birth.
    Link is, drunken driver kills 5 in family but I’m sure you have no interest.
