A man in jail facing a manslaughter charge in the death of a Mesa teen was indicted earlier this month on three counts of felony forgery.Manuel Contreras-Galdean is awaiting trial in the November 2008 death of Kelly Tracy, who was a student at Gilbert’s Highland High School.After his arrest, a deputy went to Contreras-Galdean’s Apache Junction workplace, SAK-Electric and Plumbing, 56 S. Meridian Road, to investigate Contreras-Galdean’s background. That visit led to Contreras-Galdean’s brother, Leonel Contreras-Galdean, 30, being arrested on suspicion of forgery and identity theft. Two others were also arrested.

On June 4, a Maricopa County grand jury charged Manuel Contreras-Galdean with three separate forgery counts: October 2003, November 2004 and September 2007. Two of the charges are related to verification of employment forms. The third charge is related to Arizona’s employee withholding form.

If found guilty, Manuel Contreras-Galdean could face probation or between one and two-and-a-half years in jail for each felony forgery count.

Manuel Contreras-Galdean has admitted to being an illegal immigrant who once voluntarily returned to Mexico after being picked up by authorities following a traffic stop in New Mexico.

According to court records, he pleaded not guilty to the forgery charges on June 15.

He has also pleaded not guilty to the aggravated assault and manslaughter charges he faces from the Nov. 15 crash in Mesa that killed Highland band member Kelly Tracy and injured her brother, Matt.

Mesa police say Manuel Contreras-Galdean was impaired by alcohol when he failed to yield as he was making a left turn at the intersection of Sossaman and Guadalupe roads.

According to court records, the 12-day manslaughter and aggravated assault trial is expected to start in October. Court records state he was offered a plea bargain for 10.5 years in jail. The plea bargain is set to expire in July. He could face up to 20 years in jail for the manslaughter charge alone.

Isn’t it amazing how pro-illegal aliens can post stuff like this about Americans and it’s cheered. Put the truth up about illegals and we are lower than scum. The truth does hurt.

I think they need to stop coddling these imbeciles and take them out back and shoot them. Why waste the time arresting them if the court system isn’t going to adequately punish them. I hope they ALL fry!
