Prince William County’s Illegal Alien Population Being Questioned After Nun Dies in DUI Accident

Carlos A. Martinelly Montano was arrested on August 1^st after crashing his car into another killing one, a Benedictine nun, Sister Denise Mosier.  The two other nuns traveling with Mosier are still in the hospital listed in serious condition.  Reportedly, this is Montano's third DUI arrest in Prince William County in the past five years.  While awaiting deportation proceedings, Montano was free on bond.  He now faces charges of DUI and involuntary manslaughter. 

Many are outraged over the statistics that report 13% of DUI arrestees in Prince William County in 2009 were illegal aliens.  Montano, as is the case for many others, held a valid Virginia driver's license. 

Failed Defense Strategy: Fake Death Certificate

In 2007, with 9 prior convictions, Rodney Newsome of Manassas was facing serious jail time in a Fairfax County Court for attempted fraud.  After Newsome plead guilty to the charges, his attorney, George Freeman, presented a death certificate to Fairfax Circuit Court Judge Bruce White claiming that Newsome had passed away due to complications after surgery.  Judge White dismissed the charges. 

Newsome resurfaced, alive and well, in the Fairfax County Court this week after being arrested again on fraud charges.  An attentive circuit court clerk, Mary McGaffic recognized the name and alerted the Commonwealth’s Attorney to the situation.  Newsome claims he had no knowledge of the death certificate previously presented to the court.  Newsome’s bond was remanded to jail while the court and his new attorney sort out the situation. 

Attorney George Freeman has not yet commented.
