With a wink and a smile, 24-year-old drug dealer Uriel Palacios bid farewell to his family after being told he would spend the rest of his life behind bars for killing a newlywed Irving couple.

Palacios was convicted of the murders of German and Erika Clouet on Wednesday, and the same jury sentenced him to 99 years in prison Friday afternoon after hearing two days of testimony about his many brushes with the law.

He was already serving a 30-year federal sentence for dealing drugs. The sentences will be served consecutively. He'll finish out his term in a federal lockup for his involvement with the Mexican Gulf cartel before heading to a Texas prison for the murders.

"He had 14 opportunities for second chances," Andres Clouet, German Clouet's father, said, referring to the number of crimes with which Palacios has been charged since 2003. "No one is responsible for those 99 years, not me, not the jury, no one but him."

After Judge John Creuzot read the jury's decision, the bailiff escorted Palacios to a side exit. It was then that he turned to his right to see his tearful family and gave them a wink and consoling smile.

His wife and mother declined to comment, but both said in testimony Thursday that Palacios had become a changed man since being imprisoned on the drug charges. He has a young wife and a 2-year-old son.

Palacios never took the stand in his own defense.

On Labor Day 2008, a sheriff's deputy pulled Palacios over for driving recklessly on North Central Expressway. Deputy Scott Selby approached the Chevy Tahoe and demanded that Palacios get out of the vehicle. After Selby stepped back, Palacios sped away and turned his lights off.

Palacios ran a red light and crashed into the Clouets' Toyota Scion at the intersection of North Central and Mockingbird Lane. His Tahoe was sent airborne and fell on the hood of an SMU student's SUV. All five freshmen in the vehicle were injured, as were Palacios and his passenger.

He tested positive for marijuana after the crash and his blood alcohol level was almost three times the legal limit.

At the time of the wreck, Palacios was wanted on four outstanding warrants for drug offenses and driving while intoxicated. Those charges are pending, prosecutors said in their closing arguments Friday.

Mirta Clouet said the end to her son German's life could have been avoided if laws were harsher on drunken driving.

"If they don't fix the justice system these things will keep happening," the mother said in Spanish.

As a Mexican citizen, and authorized everlasting U.S. resident, I am ashamed of the way in which that the Mexican GOVERNMENT treats the illegals in Mexico. I suppose this is a whole double general to assume America to receive illegals with open palms if they don't do the equal. The Mexican executive is (sadly) very corrupt and too most often a couple of greenbacks can get you out of something. However, I don't suppose that the movements of the GOVERNMENT must have an effect on the perspectives that Americans have of the Mexican residents. There are folks in Mexico who care approximately human rights and there also are folks that do not (identical to there are Americans who care and Americans who do not care). However, in a nation with such a lot corruption it's elaborate to freely voice an opposing opinion. And for all people who thinks that every one illegals are vain, ignorant, and going no in which, I ask you to no be so speedy to make pass judgement on. I got here to this nation illegally on the age of four, however fortunately after a ten yr lengthy, high priced approach, I won authorized everlasting condo. I graduated moment in my elegance, and am now in institution on an entire scholarship, keeping a three.nine GPA, at the same time operating 2 jobs ( and no I would not have kids). It is convenient to pass judgement on and hate with out motive, it's tougher to take some time to get to understand a character earlier than making assumptions.

This is a very sad article but unfortunately not an isolated crime.This sort of disregard for authority runs rampant this nation. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!

Justice Must be even handed ,never preferential.if you commit a crime,any crime, you must be punished Not rewarded
