Teen who hit, killed a woman by car to a plea | Aurora

The 18th public prosecutor's office has offered a 15-year-old who drove 90 miles an hour in a quarter when he met the 24-year-old Kaitlyn Weaver and killed.

The teenager, who remains illegally in the USA, was charged with vehicle murder. Initially, the public prosecutor promised to pursue the maximum two -year sentence in youth corrections, and added that according to a report by CBS News, it would be a case “no plea”.

After the office was handed over to the new district prosecutor Amy Padden in January, the teenager became two years of probation, 100 hours of non -profit service and the requirement to attend school and not to break laws, according to CBS News, citing the victim's family.

According to CBS News, the crash occurred in Aurora last July when Weaver drove home from work. The teenager drove a jeep over 90 miles per hour in one quarter in which the speed limits were 45 miles per hour and hit their car. Weaver was taken to a hospital in which her parents looked out of life two days later, CBS News reported.

CBS News said that the teenager who had no license or insurance had other children in the car at the time of the crash. His mother said that according to CBS News, he took the car without permission.

The investigators said that his mother originally planned to send him back to Colombia, but he had now applied for an asylum in the USA

Since the driver is a teenager, he will not be publicly identified in court files on Thursday.

John Weaver, the victim's father, said the public prosecutor had promised that it would be a “no plea” and no “license”.

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

Weaver added: “Immigration and the criminal justice system and one day one day all of these things ended up in Aurora and now I am sitting here today without a daughter.”

The deputy district prosecutor Ryan Brackley said the conviction “to the highest indictment” and the negotiated prison sentence reflects the “seriousness of this avoidable tragedy”.

“Although the age of the driver and the relevant legal laws have led to the fact that this case was treated before the youth court, this should not reduce the severity of the crime,” said Brackley in an explanation that was shared by the Denver Gazette. “We clearly condemn such a ruthless and illegal behavior that had devastating and irreversible results.”

Brackley added that the Weaver public prosecutor's office commissioned a supporter of the victim to lead them through the judicial process and communicated with them before he agreed to a final disposition.

He added that the suspects' citizenship status plays no role in the conclusion of plea agreements. He said that plea agreements are a “common” part of the judicial system.

“No legal result can really compensate for the profound loss, and Kaitlyn's loved ones will live permanently,” said Brackley.
