Husband killed by illegal, widow fights to shut loophole.
This is another inexcusable tragedy brought about by our government's refusal to enforce the laws. Also, in this instance, the local law rewards illegals who don't have licenses.
Kelly C. Barr was widowed at the age of 28 last June.
Her husband, John, 42, was struck head-on by a tractor-trailer on U.S. 250 in northern Tuscarawas County. John also left behind a 3-year-old daughter, Alison.
The man who caused the crash was an illegal immigrant who was driving without a license.
Juan Usralios, the man charged in John Barr’s death, originally was charged with involuntary manslaughter, a third-degree felony, but that later was reduced to a misdemeanor.
Prosecutors indicated that Usralios could have been charged with a felony only if he had been driving drunk, recklessly or with a suspended license. Usralios did not have a license. UNBELIEVABLY STUPID.
