HOUSTON - A truck driver accused in the deaths of 19 illegal
immigrants
Quoted message said:crammed into his sweltering tractor-trailer went on trial Tuesday,
with a
Quoted message said:prosecutor calling him the most "heartless, evil" member of the
smuggling
Quoted message said:ring because he didn't help people as they slowly died.
Tyrone Williams, 34, could get the death penalty if convicted for his
part
Quoted message said:in the nation's deadliest immigrant-smuggling attempt.
Defense attorney Craig Washington told the jury that while his client
is
Quoted message said:guilty of transporting illegal immigrants, he is not responsible for
the 19
Quoted message said:deaths.
Washington said Williams, a Jamaican immigrant, would have helped the
immigrants who screamed for help and tried to claw their way out of
the
Quoted message said:trailer, but he did not speak Spanish and did not understand their
cries.
Quoted message said:Williams is charged with 58 counts of harboring and transporting
illegal
Quoted message said:immigrants. He is the only one of 14 defendants in the case to face
the
Quoted message said:death penalty, which is allowed under federal law in smuggling
attempts that
Quoted message said:end in death.
His truck was found abandoned at a truck stop about 125 miles
southwest of
Quoted message said:Houston in May 2003, with 17 of the more than 70 people inside dead,
including a 5-year-old boy. Two others died later.
Federal prosecutor Daniel Rodriguez told jurors that Williams cared
only
Quoted message said:about how much he got paid.
Rather than help the immigrants as they kicked out a signal light and
cried
Quoted message said:for help, Williams demanded more money from the smuggling ring
because he
Quoted message said:feared the immigrants would damage his truck, the prosecutor said.
"This was criminal enterprise that treated people worse than cattle
on the
Quoted message said:way to the slaughterhouse," Rodriguez said. "He was the most
heartless, evil
Quoted message said:and cruel member of the organization."
Tyrone did what our gummint fails to do, get rid of illegal aliens.
Williams deserves some sort of award.
