A 15-year-old illegal immigrant in Aurora, Colorado, received probation and community service as part of a plea deal with prosecutors after he killed 24-year-old Kaitlyn Weaver last July by plowing a Jeep into the side of her vehicle.

After initially promising to pursue the maximum sentence of two years in a correctional facility for the illegal immigrant, Weaver’s father, John Weaver, said that the Arapahoe District Attorney’s Office changed course after different leadership took over a few months later, CBS News Colorado reported.

“The DA’s office said this would be a ‘no plea deal’ case, so they were not going to offer anything; any concession,” Weaver said.

Kaitlyn, who worked at a drug rehab center in Aurora, was driving home and talking over speaker phone with her boyfriend when the illegal immigrant teenager slammed into the side of her car, driving around 90 mph in a residential area, according to authorities. Footage from a Ring doorbell camera captured the crash, showing the illegal immigrant’s jeep speeding down the road before the massive collision. Kaitlyn was “effectively killed instantly,” her father said. John Weaver and his wife Michelle made the decision to remove Kaitlyn from life support two days later.

The juvenile also had other minors in his vehicle when he crashed into the 24-year-old woman. The Jeep, which the teenager was driving illegally, was uninsured, and his mother said that he took it without her permission. The teen was charged with vehicular homicide.

Under the new Democratic District Attorney, Amy Padden, the illegal immigrant was offered two years of probation if he pleaded guilty, according to Weaver. Arapahoe County Assistant District Attorney Ryan Brackley said the plea deal was handled by an experienced prosecutor and was not influenced by the new district attorney. The deal was upheld by a judge after hearing from the Weaver family, Brackley added.

“Why the change? If he had taken a firearm and recklessly just shot it and killed someone, this would be a different case. They would be pushing it completely differently,” Weaver said. “There’s no deterrence.”

“Immigration and the criminal justice system and all these things landed together one day in Aurora, and now I sit here today without a daughter,” Weaver added.

Brackley defended the plea deal, saying that before any plea deal is negotiated prosecutors consider “the impact on the victims and the community,” “the characteristics of the defendant such as age, culpability, and level of remorse,” and the “goals of sentencing, including deterrence, rehabilitating the offender, treating similarly situated offenders equitably, and holding each offender accountable.”

“The negotiated sentence acknowledges the seriousness of this preventable tragedy,” the assistant district attorney stated.

The South Carolina Supreme Court rejected an effort from Planned Parenthood to water down the state’s pro-life heartbeat law, ruling on Wednesday that the state could enforce its protections for unborn babies at around six weeks of development.

In its decision, the court ruled against Planned Parenthood’s claim that the law could only protect babies at around nine weeks of development, claiming that was when a baby’s heartbeat can first be detected. The court said that the legislature had intended to protect unborn babies at around six weeks, when heart activity can first be detected, ruling against the abortion giant.

“Time and time again, we have defended the right to life in South Carolina, and time and time again, we have prevailed,” said South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster. “Today’s ruling is another clear and decisive victory that will ensure the lives of countless unborn children remain protected and that South Carolina continues to lead the charge in defending the sanctity of life.”

“This ruling is a resounding win for the rule of law and protecting the unborn in South Carolina,” said Attorney General Alan Wilson. “Today’s decision reaffirms that our elected legislators, not out-of-state interest groups, hold the power to shape South Carolina’s policies in accordance with the values of its people.”

The Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America organization also praised the decision from the court.

“Planned Parenthood has failed in attempting to rewrite the science of human development to further their agenda for more abortions and more profit,” said SBA Pro-Life America Political Director Caitlin Connors. “The level of science denial from this abortion giant that receives $800 million in taxpayer funding annually should astound South Carolinians who overwhelmingly re-elected Gov. Henry McMaster and state Republicans after they enacted the heartbeat law.”
