The Colorado public prosecutor does not offer licensed and undocumented teenage tests after a fatal crash

The Arapahoe district prosecutor's office defends his decision to give a teenager who was illegal to give trial and community service, and when he illegally killed a woman.

The accident occurred in Aurora last July. The victim, Kaitlyn Weaver, was home to her car when a jeep who drove through a residential area. The speed limit in the area was 45 miles per hour. The investigators say that the driver carried out more than 90 miles per hour.

“She didn't even see him come,” said her father John Weaver. “He was so quickly. It was effectively killed immediately.”

He says that he and his wife Michelle have exempted their daughter from life support 2 days later. “How does she go to this loss?”

Weaver says his daughter was a born caregiver and volunteered for a suicide hotline before taking a job in a drug -rehab center in Aurora.

She was 24 years old. The suspect was 15 years old and had other children in the car. He was charged with vehicle murder. Because of his age, the state law protects him to be publicly identified in court files.

Weaver says that the prosecutor initially promised to pursue the maximum prison sentence of two years in youth corrections: “The office who said that this would be a case” not a plea “, so they would not offer anything; any concession.”

This has changed when the public prosecutor's office in Arapahoe changed the owner a few months later.

After the new district prosecutor Amy Padden, Weaver said that the teenager was offered two years of probation when he was guilty.

“Why the change? If he took a firearm and shot it ruthlessly and killed someone, this would be another case. They would push them very differently,” said Weaver. “There is no deterrent.”

There is also no financial liability, despite his daughter's doctor bills, which was almost 1 million US dollars.

The jeep was not insured and the young person's mother says that he took it without permission, so she is not responsible either.

Weaver says the system has broken: “Immigration and the criminal judiciary and all of these things have one day ended up in Aurora, and now I am sitting here today without a daughter.”

Kaitlin Weaver, an organ donor, continues to live in others, while the person who has freely killed their lives. The investigators say that his mother originally planned to send him back to Colombia. Weaver says he has now submitted asylum.

He had a message for him: “I hope that he will make something of himself and that he remembers the chance he has and I hope that he doesn't forget her.”

The deputy district prosecutor of Arapahoe County, Ryan Brackley, said that an experienced prosecutor has completed the plea without direct participation in the new administration. A judge, he said, confirmed the deal after hearing from the family.

He says that the public prosecutors in front of a plea deal “the effects on the victims and the community”, “the characteristics of the accused, such as age, guilt and lure” and the “goals of the conviction, including deterrence, rehabilitation of the perpetrator, the treatment of convictions and the rehabilitation of the perpetrator, the treatment of convictions and the rehabilitation of the Consider perpetrators who are held accountable by every criminal. “

In this case, Brackley says: “The negotiated judgment recognizes the seriousness of this avoidable tragedy.”

The Weber said that the prosecutor had not spoken in the conviction and the accused never apologized for taking her daughter's life.

In addition to 100 hours of community service, the teenager has to attend school and do not break laws.

If he violates the conditions of his probation, he will return to court, but after the plea, his probation will not automatically revoke.
