MANASSAS, Va. - A judge on Monday found a Bolivian immigrant guilty of murder for causing a crash while driving drunk that killed a Benedictine nun and severely injured two others last year.
The case against Carlos Martinelly Montano, 24, drew national attention partly because of the sympathetic victims _ three elderly nuns _ but mostly because of Martinelly's immigration status. Federal authorities say Martinelly was an illegal immigrant who had been convicted of drunken driving twice previously but was never deported.

The headline should have read Illegal immigrant guilty of murder. This man should have been deported long before he could have taken a life.
