ILLEGAL ALIEN GUILTY OF SECOND FATAL DUI
A McHenry County jury convicted an illegal alien yesterday of felony drunken driving, reckless homicide and failing to report an accident after he struck and killed a 71-year old motorcyclist in 2006. Eulalio Haro, a Mexican native who has been deported from the United States three times for illegally entering the country, was previously convicted of reckless homicide in 1993 after killing his brother in a drunk driving accident. He served half of a four year sentence before being deported to Mexico in 1995. He illegally returned twice -- he was apprehended and deported both times, most recently in 2005.
Haro now faces a maximum 28 year prison term that he will have to serve in Illinois before he can again be deported to Mexico. McHenry County prosecutors will seek the maximum sentence because this is the second fatality Haro has caused.
I am pleased that the prosecutors will seek the maximum sentence -- if anyone deserves the full sentence, it is this man, who clearly has no regard for human life. My deepest condolences to the families who have been affected by his deadly actions.
