The incident was his biggest mistake: he took a U-turn. He did check his mirror to see if any vehicle was coming, and he did not intend to harm anyone. It was not that he ignored the traffic or wanted to kill someone — that is not true at all. He was only trying to make a U-turn to continue on his way. Unfortunately, another car came at very high speed and collided with his truck.<br>
<br>
Yes, lives were tragically lost in this accident, and nothing can bring those people back. But it is also clear that those vehicles were traveling much faster than the limit, which made it impossible for them to stop in time when they saw the truck ahead. This does not excuse the mistake of taking the U-turn, but it shows that he never had any intention to hurt or kill anyone.<br>
<br>
He was arrested and may be sentenced to 45 years of imprisonment, which is far too severe. He has a family who depends on him, and his life has been completely destroyed because of this tragedy. He will live with the guilt of what happened for the rest of his life.<br>
<br>
Please have mercy on him. He is not a criminal who killed someone deliberately — this was an accident, a mistake. If punishment must be given, it should be fair and not a life-destroying sentence. We respectfully request that he be given a reduced sentence, such as one year, and then allowed to return to India to be with his family.<br>
<br>
Treating him as if he intentionally committed murder is unjust. He did not mean for this tragedy to happen, and he will always carry the pain and regret in his heart.<br>
<br>

<br>
He is not illegal. Yes, he entered the United States by crossing the border, but the U.S. Border Patrol lawfully processed him and allowed him into the country. After that, he followed the proper legal steps — he applied for asylum, and under U.S. law, asylum seekers are allowed to remain in the country while their case is being decided.<br>
<br>
Because of that, the federal government itself approved his work permit (EAD), and the DMV issued his driver’s license based on that valid document. If he were “illegal,” none of this would have been possible.
