A teenage illegal immigrant killed a young woman in Colorado during a high-speed crash but won’t serve any jail time after a controversial plea deal from a progressive district attorney. The victim’s family is devastated, saying the justice system completely failed them.
Key Facts:
- A 15-year-old Colombian illegal immigrant killed 24-year-old Kaitlyn Weaver in a July 2024 crash in Aurora, Colorado.
- The teen was racing a Jeep at 90 mph in a residential area and T-boned Weaver’s vehicle while she was stopped at a sign.
- Weaver was kept on life support for two days before her organs were donated.
- District Attorney Amy Padden offered the teen a plea deal resulting in probation and 100 hours of community service, with no jail time.
- Padden had previously assured the family there would be no plea deal before reversing course in January 2025.
The Rest of The Story:
The teen took the uninsured Jeep without his mother’s permission.
He was unlicensed and in the United States illegally.
Weaver’s father, John Weaver, said the crash was “instantaneous,” and his daughter was speaking to her boyfriend on speakerphone when it happened.
Initially, the Arapahoe County District Attorney’s Office told the Weaver family the case would not involve a plea deal.
However, the office later reversed that position and offered probation instead.
DA Amy Padden claimed two years of probation was likely more than what a judge would impose, making it a better outcome.
The family’s attorney, Matthew Durkin, called the plea “abhorrent.”
Weaver was described as being in the prime of her life when she was killed.
Assistant DA Ryan Brackley stated that the teen’s conduct was reckless and had “devastating and irreversible results.”
Commentary:
There is no justice in a system that lets an illegal immigrant who killed a young woman walk away with probation.
Amy Padden, the district attorney behind this disgraceful plea deal, has lost all moral authority to serve in public office.
She was elected with the backing of Bernie Sanders and Jared Polis, and her actions reflect exactly the type of justice system progressive politicians promote—soft on crime and dismissive of victims.
The facts in this case are clear: reckless driving, no license, an uninsured vehicle, and a tragic death.
Yet Padden decided that the killer should do community service instead of serving time.
What message does that send to the community? That if you’re underage and here illegally, you get a free pass for taking a life?
It’s sickening, and every Colorado resident should be alarmed.
But the reality is, Padden won’t resign, and voters who keep choosing this type of leadership are getting exactly what they voted for.
Until people in blue states wake up and realize their real problem is the leaders they keep electing, these tragedies will continue.
We pray that Colorado voters see the truth next election.
But if history is any guide, they’ll double down on failure—again.
The Bottom Line:
A young woman is dead, and her killer walks free.
This isn’t a failure of the justice system—it’s the result of deliberate choices made by progressive prosecutors.
Colorado voters must take a hard look at the consequences of their votes.
Otherwise, Kaitlyn Weaver’s story won’t be the last of its kind.
