Illegal Pleads No Contest to Killing Director Robert Clark
Happens all the time all over the country.
A 24-year-old man — in the country illegally — pleaded no contest Wednesday to charges that he killed film director Robert Clark and his 22-year-old son, a SMC student, while driving drunk on the PCH in April.los
Hector Velazquez-Nava, of Mexico, submitted his plea to two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated at the Airport Superior Court, admitting to being behind the wheel when his sport utility vehicle swerved into oncoming traffic, killing Clark, 67, and his son Ariel.
Velazquez-Nava previously lived in Los Angeles, and was on two years’ probation after pleading guilty in 2005 to a prostitution-related charge in LA, according to reports.
Clark was well-known for having directed and produced “Porky’s” and “Porky’s II: The Next Day,” two cult favorites that effectively launched the teen sex comedy genre. He also directed the holiday-season classic “A Christmas Story” in 1983 and “Loose Cannons,” starring Gene Hackman, in 1990.
