| Jun 25 -Grieving Mother, Billed For Cleanup After Son k!lled By Undocumented Drunk Driver |
| By NY_StandUp - 06-25-2012, 01:02 PM - Boxden > BX Daily Bugle - news and headlines A South Carolina woman faced tragedy last June when a drunk driver k!lled her oldest son. But the still-grieving mother, Loretta Robinson, is now being billed for the various charges[..]ociated with the accident, including a $50 charge to clean her son's blood off the road. Justin Walker, Robinson's deceased son, was not found at fault for the accident. The accused driver, Anna Gonzalez, tearfully pleaded guilty in court last Tuesday, the Daily Mail reported. According to MSNBC, the undocumented woman had been living in the United States for 12 years, but never got a South Carolina driver's license. Gonzalez was sentenced to 17 years in prison. Robinson was on hand in court to express her outrage at the bills she's received since losing her son. "I had to pay to have the vehicle towed. I had to pay for the vehicle removed and to clean up the street from Justin's blood," Robinson said. According to WYFF, Robinson also paid to have the wrecked car stored for months in case there was a trial. The South Carolina State Office of Victims[..]istance offers a combined total of up to $15,000 for medical, funeral, counseling and wage compensation for the families of victims of crime. According to NBC Greenville, Robinson received some money from the victim's[..]istance office, but it did not cover the costs of cleanup or storage. There has been some recent controversy about the crime rate among undocumented immigrants in the United States. In March, the Scott Gardiner Act, a bill that would authorize the deportation of any undocumented immigrant convicted of drunk driving, was reintroduced to Congress by Representatives Sue Myrick and Mike McIntyre, News 14 Carolina reported. "We have to be able, as a country, to figure out a way with people here who are illegal and commit crimes," Robinson told WYFF. ![]() Loretta Robinson, Grieving Mother, Billed For Cleanup After Son k!lled By Undocumented Drunk Driver |

| I dont understand why they dont bill the guilty party by tackin on extra years to pay off the debt for the city's removal fees. It makes absolutely no sense to bill the innocent party period. Where they do that at? The fact that she black, can have some degree of merit to how this was handled, its difficult to say tho. I think its just bull!! red tape moreso than racism imo. | |
