Lawyer for Illegal Alien Who Allegedly Killed Trooper Says ‘Not All Car Accidents Are Crimes’:

According to the lawyer defending Raul Benitez-Santana, the car accident that resulted in the death of a Washington State Patrol trooper in March 2024 was not a crime. It was just a car accident. You can watch the attorney make her argument below:

Well, here’s why authorities believe it was a crime. According to the police, Raul Benitez-Santana was…

…in the country illegally.

…driving over 100 MPH when he hit the Trooper’s vehicle.

…admitted to smoking marijuana before getting in his vehicle.

…admitted to drinking beer before getting in his vehicle.

…was driving recklessly in the passing lane.

…blew a .047 in the breathalyzer, which is below the legal limit of .08, but he blew that three hours after the accident

According to various reports, last March, 27-year-old Trooper Christopher M. Gadd was parked in his cruiser on the shoulder of the interstate at around 3 a.m. when an illegal alien, shielded from deportation by Democrat-run Washington state’s insane sanctuary laws, swerved and struck the trooper’s cruiser from behind at 107 MPH. Santana’s car bounced back into the traffic lane, where he was then struck by a van carrying six people. The van’s driver suffered a broken wrist.

Trooper Gadd left behind a young wife and daughter.

If any of that is true — what part isn’t a crime again?

Incredibly, the 33-year-old illegal alien’s defense team previously sought to get the entire case dismissed with the claim that prosecutors had conspired with immigration officials in violation of Washington state’s sanctuary law. The defense argued that by revealing Santana’s illegal status, the law was broken, and the entire case should be tossed. A judge denied the request.

According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Santana has been in the country illegally for a decade.

Everyone deserves — including an illegal alien — the best defense available. No one’s arguing that. Now, don’t get me wrong, regardless of the verdict, this guy needs to be shipped back to Mexico pronto. But as far as the crime itself, he deserves the best defense. Before the state can be allowed to strip you of your freedom, it must make its case. But from what I’m seeing, the following defense argument is not much of a defense in the face of a vehicular homicide charge: —>READ MORE HERE

Trial begins for Mexican national accused of killing WSP trooper while speeding under the influence:

Opening statements for the trial for a man charged with killing a Washington State Patrol (WSP) trooper in March 2024 started today.

The defendant, Raul Benitez-Santana, is accused of crashing into the back of a WSP cruiser on I-5 on March 2, 2024, while driving under the influence. According to a witness, the SUV driven by Benitez-Santana swerved and hit the back of the WSP vehicle. The SUV then ricocheted off the patrol vehicle and stopped in the fast lane, where it was hit by a van with six people inside.

WSP Trooper Christopher Gadd, who was sitting in the driver’s seat of the car that was crashed into, died in the collision.

Investigators alleged that Benitez-Santana, 33, was driving more than 100 mph when the crash occurred. Prosecutors said Santana admitted to smoking marijuana and drinking beer before he crashed into Gadd’s patrol vehicle.

Benitez-Santana’s defense argued that it was dark and Gadd’s vehicle did not have its lights on, claiming Benitez-Santana only saw the car’s lights come on one second before the crash. Prosecutors countered, arguing his driving in the passing lane of the freeway was reckless regardless of the circumstances.

Benitez-Santana, a Mexican citizen, was in the U.S. illegally when the crash happened. After his arrest, ICE placed an immigration detainer on him. —>READ MORE HERE
