WEST ALLIS - An illegal immigrant convicted of running down a West Allis mother and daughter faced sentencing Thursday.

The child died in a West Allis intersection four months ago Thursday.

The maximum sentence for causing death while driving with a revoked license is only nine months.

That's what Jose Rodriguez got…but there's a catch.

It was an extremely emotional time for the Maddox family.

Thursday was the first time Andrea Maddox saw the man charged with killing her daughter and injuring her as the two crossed the street in West Allis.

The grieving mother had the chance to address Rodriguez in court Thursday.

“I don't feel sorry for him. He put me and my family through emotional hell,” Maddox said.

Rodriguez did stop at 84th and Cleveland back in June after he hit MacKenzie Maddox and seriously injured her mother, but he was driving with a revoked license and he wasn't even supposed to be in the states.

He was deported earlier this year.

“This is what happens when you are here illegally, you don't follow the rules,” Maddox said.

Through an interpreter, Rodriguez expressed his sorrow to the Maddox family.

“There are no words I can find to let them know how sorry I am for what happened,” Rodriguez said.

The judge sentenced Rodriguez to the maximum sentence: nine months with four months credit for time served, something that caused even more pain for the family.

“This is crazy. Its absolutely nuts. For killing somebody. She had to go to the bathroom. Now she's dead,” Maddox said.

Rodriguez also faces federal charges for returning to the states illegally. He could be looking at several years in prison and possible deportation.
