PHOENIX -- An illegal immigrant was sentenced Friday to 10.5 years in prison for running a red light and killing a 20-year-old.

Jocabed Dominguez-Torres pleaded guilty to manslaughter and aggravated assault on Jan. 31.

The charges stemmed from an accident on March 4, 2007 in which Dominguez-Torres ran a red light at a Peoria intersection and struck another vehicle.

A passenger in the second vehicle, Chris Miller, died at the scene. One other person in the car was seriously injured.

According to a blood test, Dominguez-Torres had a blood alcohol content of .20.

She was indicted for manslaughter and aggravated assault on March 20, 2007.

On Friday, Protesters gathered to support Miller's family and protest Phoenix's immigration-enforcement policies.

"It was their only son," said Buffalo Rick Galenner. "He's gone and the illegal aliens seems to be walking free. I'm tired of it. American citizens are tired of paying for illegal aliens. Period."

Outside court, Miller's parents said the sentencing was about closure and justice for their son.

"We can start over again. We can go forward. We truly feel this is Chris's day," said his mom.

Protesters held signs and even walked with the Millers as they entered court. They blamed Phoenix Police Chief Jack Harris and Mayor Phil Gordon for the city's controversial immigration enforcement policy and called for their resignations.

"Well, obviously nothing will ever replace Chris but if anything can come out of the fact that he was killed by a drunk driver who was illegal, we're hoping to fight both battles at this point," said Scott Miller.
