Manuel Orrego-Savala, of Guatemala. Thru his defense liarwyer he has pled not guilty.
Charges have been filed against undo ented immigrant who allegedly drove drunk and killed two men in a car crash, including Indianapolis Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson.
The incident drew attention from President Donald Trump and others, who said the case illustrated the need to crack down on illegal immigration, but Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry slammed that move.
“We will vigorously prosecute this matter, just like any comparable crime, not because of the immigration status of an accused, but because two innocent men lost their lives in this horrible incident."
“We are disheartened that ghoulish and inappropriate public commentary has politicized this tragedy," Curry said, adding, "Much of such commentary including tweets by the President, fails to acknowledge that both Edwin Jackson and Jeffrey Monroe lost their lives on Sunday. We will simply seek justice on behalf of the families of those two victims.”
Manuel Orrego-Savala, of Guatemala, has been charged with two counts of causing death when operating a motor vehicle and two counts of failure to remain at the scene of an accident.
A judge today entered a not guilty plea on his behalf, the prosecutor's office told ABC News. Defense attorney Jorge Torres said today that his client is distraught and confused and that his immigration status isn't related to the car accident, according to The Associated Press. Torres did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.

Manuel Orrego-Savala, of Guatemala. Thru his defense liarwyer he has pled not guilty.
Orrego-Savala, 37, fled on foot and was later apprehended, according to cops.
Police said that Orrego-Savala, who was using the alias Alex Cabrera Gonsales, was believed to be intoxicated and driving without a license at the time of the collision. A breath test found his blood alcohol content to be 0.239 percent, over the limit of .08 percent, according to a probable cause affidavit.
boohoo... ing ship his ass out of here already! if he comes back again, chop his legs off and ship his ass back once more.
Nope, don't even let him back.
Look at this!:
Besides the two deportations, Orrego-Savala was convicted of driving under the influence in California in 2005 and has had many other misdemeanor arrests and convictions in California and Indiana, said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spokesperson Nicole Alberico.
President Trump blasted Orrego-Savala on Twitter Tuesday, writing that it's "so disgraceful that a person illegally in our country killed Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson. This is just one of many such preventable tragedies. We must get the Dems to get tough on the Border, and with illegal immigration, FAST!"
defense attorney said his client is "distraught and confused"... bruh the issue is that he took the wheel in a distraught and confused state and got 2 people killed. cant see anything to gain out of a NG plea
lol murder
Growing number of killings tied to young white supremacists
A new report shines a light on the transition from online hate to real world ramifications.
A report published last month by the Anti-Defamation League showed that the rate of
killings tied to white supremacists surged during President Trump’s first year in office.
Now, a new report out of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has tabulated just how many of those killings were from those affiliated with the so-called “alt-right” — the misogynistic milieu, steeped in online propaganda, targeting the youngest generation of white supremacists.
According to the SPLC, the number of killings and injured persons attributed to this newest generation of white nationalists has skyrocketed since the group first made itself known a few years ago.
Since 2014, the report found that some 43 individuals had been killed and 67 had been injured in attacks by the so-called “alt-right.”
