RALEIGH - A drunken driver accused of causing a fatal wreck on Interstate 40 in June pleaded guilty Thursday to several charges.
Ricardo Contreras-de la Torre, 24, an illegal immigrant, was charged in June with two counts of felony assault involving serious bodily injury and one count of felony death by motor vehicle in the June 4 crash. He was sentenced to 25 to 39 months in prison, Wake County Assistant District Attorney Adam Boyers said Thursday afternoon.

Contreras-de la Torre was heading east on Interstate 40 around 7:15 a.m. on June 4 when the Chevrolet Tahoe he was driving crossed the median and collided with two other vehicles. George Smith, 54, of Cary, a computer programmer at Duke University who was on his way to work that morning, died in the crash.

Contreras-de la Torre had admitted to drinking the night before the accident.

Contreras-de la Torre initially gave state Highway Patrol officials the name Michael De Latorre. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said they discovered his real identity through a fingerprint search.

A federal grand jury also indicted Contreras-de la Torre earlier this year for being in the country illegally, the U.S. Department of Justice announced about two weeks after the crash. He had been twice caught trying to cross into the country from Mexico in 2004

A thought came to me. Even if a person is found criminally insane at the time of the crime (ie. in this case killing 6 family members) When they do their time in a mental assylum should they not carry out their original sentence also? After all they are totally sane now so they must understand if you commit a crime you do the time, no? if they are so sane they would understand why this is - they killed 6 people!!!! This guy could be free in 2 years if he gets off with criminal insanity! That is criminal insanity in itself surely?

How many of you think it is a BAD idea to seal the US boarders?

How many of you have been called racist for advocating for the sealing of the US boarders?

do you advocate taking advantage of anyone, if they don't know enough about a subject to make an informed decision?

for instance, the home loan issue going on now.... these people didn't have a clue about what they were signing... should they? probably... did the lenders know they wouldn't be able to pay it if the rates increased? most did...

isn't saying "buyer beware" advocating taking advantage of anyone that doesn't know better? I mean if you're "not against it, you're for it"... according to Bush... right?

Could you someone help me with this? I was charged and arrested for Criminal Damage to Property-2nd degree in 2001. I went to court and it was reduced to Misdemenor--Criminal Trepass. Today, I went to the Local Police Dept and it shows where I was arrested and charged. I served my 7 months probation and paid fine. I need to know what I need to do. Also, since it was reduced to misdemeanor, would it even show up on my report. Made a mistake 6 years ago and never thought it would hunt me. Thanks to all the people that answer.

I am not talking about to be asked to speak English since the fist day they enter the country. I mean, that during the process of obtaining the green card (about a year) they should learn at least the basics of English and then take a test by the day they obtain their status as legal residents.

Have the neo-fascists consolidated that much power already?

If so we should all be very afraid.

I am applying for a Marine officer program, and of course have to fill out the standard medical questionaire. At first my recruiter told me to "omit" that I have a history of migraines. I don't really get them any more, and have been off my meds for a while, but I know it's a can of worms to lie to MEPS so I'm going to fully disclose.

My question is, so long as I provide my medical records to them and consult with the doc at MEPS about my current status, do I have a chance at obtaining a waiver to serve? I know any history of migraines dq's me from aviation, but I am not averse to doing ground anyway.

....especially after she just ran over a photographer's foot at the Four Seasons?

And now that we understand she will not just lay low for a year so we will forget about her, what will she be in the "news" for next?
