AURORA, CO — In a move sparking national outrage, Soros-backed District Attorney Amy Padden has given a 15-year-old unlicensed, uninsured, and illegal alien driver just two years’ probation and community service—after he killed 24-year-old Kaitlyn Weaver in a high-speed car crash last July.
This shocking miscarriage of justice comes after Padden, who was funded by left-wing megadonor George Soros, took office and reversed earlier statements by the DA’s office that the case would involve “no plea deals.”
The Crime: 90 MPH in a Residential Zone
Kaitlyn Weaver was driving home from work when a Jeep driven by the illegal teen suspect barreled through a 45-mph residential zone at over 90 mph and slammed into her vehicle. According to investigators, she never saw the car coming and was killed almost instantly.
The suspect—who had no driver’s license, no insurance, and was in the country illegally—was joyriding with other minors in the vehicle. He was charged with vehicular homicide.
The Verdict: Probation and Community Service
Despite the horrific nature of the crash and the devastation inflicted on the Weaver family, DA Amy Padden’s office offered a plea deal that allowed the teenage killer to walk away with:
-
Two years of probation
-
Community service
-
No jail time
-
No accountability for his immigration status
To make matters worse, the teen’s mother was not charged—despite admitting the Jeep was hers—because she claimed her son “took it without permission.”
A Family Destroyed
John Weaver, Kaitlyn’s heartbroken father, spoke out:
“The DA’s office told us this would be a no-plea case… then it all changed when Amy Padden took over. My daughter was ripped from us, and the system gave her killer a slap on the wrist.”
Kaitlyn had dedicated her young life to helping others, working at a rehabilitation center and volunteering at a suicide hotline. The family is now left with over $1 million in medical bills and no justice for their daughter’s death.
The Political Agenda Behind the Injustice
Amy Padden is one of dozens of prosecutors nationwide backed by George Soros’ campaign to reshape the justice system through soft-on-crime policies that prioritize ideology over victims.
This case is the clearest example yet of what happens when activist prosecutors substitute public safety with social justice experiments—even at the cost of American lives.
The Bottom Line: A Government That No Longer Protects Its Citizens
Kaitlyn Weaver is dead. Her killer is free. And her grieving parents are left to pick up the pieces while illegal aliens who kill American citizens are coddled by a judicial system captured by political radicals.
This is not justice. This is an insult to the rule of law, and a betrayal of every law-abiding citizen.
Enough is enough. America deserves prosecutors who enforce the law—not rewrite it. The Weaver family, and families across this country, deserve better than this.
