SAN ANTONIO — The man who pled guilty to human smuggling in San Antonio that killed multiple immigrants has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Sixty-year-old James Bradley appeared in U.S. District court in San Antonio Friday after his sentencing has been pushed back several times. The judge also ordered Bradley to forfeit his tractor-trailer rig, $5,600 and a .38 caliber pistol retrieved from the cab.

“Today’s sentencing of James Matthew Bradley, Jr., brings some closure to a truly horrific and unnecessary tragedy that involved exploiting human cargo for pure greed,” Special Agent in Charge Shane Folden, HSI San Antonio said. “Not only were ten lives lost, but many more were injured as a result of Bradley’s participation in this illegal scheme.”

On October 16, 2017, Bradley pleaded guilty to driving an 18-wheeler stuffed with 40 undocumented immigrants across the border, 10 of whom died. The truck was found at a Walmart on San Antonio's South Side on July 23, 2017.

Investigators believe up to 200 people could have been in the trailer when it crossed the border in Laredo.

A second man plead guilty to charges in the same case.
