• Maximiliano Esparza is another violent criminal allowed to run loose in the United States with horrific results - the rape and murder of a nun in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Sister Helen Chaska was found strangled and dead with her rosary beads lodged in her neck. Another nun was raped where the nuns were walking along a bike path. As an illegal alien, Esparza should have been deported in 1992 after serving a prison term for kidnapping and robbery in Los Angeles, however there is no record of the Salvadoran being deported so presumably he was merely released into the community from prison. Esparza was also arrested in 2002 prior to the murders, but was released by the INS in violation of the law which requires that criminal aliens with long rap sheets are supposed to be investigated. One report shows that he used seven different aliases.
Sentencing Update: In early April 2003, Esparza was sentenced to life in prison without parole. The case was a plea bargain, partially to prevent the necessity for the surviving nun to testify.
First and foremost: crossing the border without permission. It goes from there...
