CARPENTERSVILLE -- A Kane County judge has issued an arrest warrant for a Carpentersville woman accused of reckless homicide in a December 2006 Metra train-crossing crash that killed two of her sisters and her nephew.

Officials say 26-year-old Epifania Alvarez-Navarette failed to show up for a pretrial conference in Kane County Judge Timothy Sheldon's courtroom. Bond is set at $20,000. Alvarez-Navarette has pleaded not guilty. She faces three counts of reckless homicide in the Elgin crash.

Authorities say she drove around train barricades and warning bells into the path of the commuter train. The woman's attorney, Maria Najera, says attempts to reach her client were unsuccessful.

I guess that is to be expected from a judge sympathetic to illegal immigrants. For pete's sake, a $20,000 bond (actual cost $2000) for breaking a law (many) and killing half your family. The comments on the article are quite informative.
