No Indictment for Drunk Driver Who Killed Good Samaritan
Description
Aurora Morales, a 62-year-old woman, was accused of driving drunk and fatally striking Ana Maria Paniagua, a 57-year-old educator, in El Paso. Paniagua had stopped to help Morales, who was distressed on the roadside. Despite the evidence presented, a grand jury decided not to indict Morales, citing insufficient grounds for felony charges. District Attorney James Montoya emphasized that under Texas law, this means no further criminal action against Morales. The decision was made on February 25th, and Morales was released from jail the same day. The tragic incident highlights the unpredictable nature of roadside assistance.
