Illegal Alien Who Killed 24-Year-Old Woman Gets ‘Ridiculous’ Light Sentence, Triggering Backlash

A 15-year-old undocumented immigrant has been sentenced to probation and community service for the vehicular manslaughter of 24-year-old Kaitlyn Weaver in Colorado. The teen was driving at speeds exceeding 90 mph in a 45 mph zone when he collided with Weaver’s vehicle last July. Despite prosecutors initially indicating a push for incarceration, Arapahoe County District Attorney Amy Padden opted for a plea deal resulting in two years of probation and 100 hours of community service.This decision has drawn significant public outrage, as reflected in social media comments highlighting the injustice felt by Weaver’s family, particularly by her father, who expressed his anger over the perceived leniency toward the teen responsible for his daughter’s death.The teen allegedly plans to claim asylum after the incident.


A 15-year-old illegal immigrant who killed a Colorado woman will not have to face jail time for the crime.

Prosecutors in Arapahoe County sought and received a sentence of probation and community service for the teen who killed Kaitlyn Weaver, 24, in Aurora last July, according to CBS News.

The illegal immigrant, who was not named by the justice system due to his age, was going upwards of 90 mph in a 45 mph residential zone when the Jeep he was driving struck Weaver’s vehicle. He was charged with vehicular manslaughter.

The sentence was summed up on social media platform X by Libs of TikTok this way: “An innocent American is dead while her killer walks free. INSANE.”

“She didn’t even see him coming,” John Weaver, Kaitlyn’s father, told CBS. “That’s how fast he was going. She was effectively killed instantly.”

Weaver said the local district attorney made promises of seeking incarceration for the illegal driver.

“The DA’s office said this would be a ‘no plea deal’ case, so they were not going to offer anything; any concession,” he said.

Instead, new Arapahoe County District Attorney Amy Padden sought only two years’ probation in exchange for a guilty plea.

“Why the change? If he had taken a firearm and recklessly just shot it and killed someone, this would be a different case. They would be pushing it completely differently,” Weaver said. “There’s no deterrence.”

Weaver said no one pays, as he lost a child, faced nearly $1 million in medical bills, and found out that the mother of the teen skirted responsibility by saying her unlicensed driver son took her Jeep without permission.

“Immigration and the criminal justice system and all these things landed together one day in Aurora and now I sit here today without a daughter,” he said

Weaver said the teen has filed for asylum.

“This is ridiculous,” Paul A. Szypula posted on X.

Arapahoe County Assistant District Attorney Ryan Brackley defended his office by saying “the negotiated sentence acknowledges the seriousness of this preventable tragedy.”

The teen must attend school, perform 100 hours of community service, and not break any more laws. However, a violation would trigger nothing more than a court appearance.
