Raymoundo Rojas Garcia told Circuit Judge Lisa Dodson he had been in South Mississippi without proper documentation about a year when his pickup struck a motorcycle on U.S. 49 in Orange Grove. Saucier resident Wayne Hughes, 45, and wife, Michelle, 48, died in the crash on June 24, 2007.
The family was found on Plunkett Road off O'Neal. Garcia had no driver's license or insurance and had been arrested a week earlier on a drunken-driving charge. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed a hold on him after the fatal crash.
