On March 3, 2013, Julio Acevedo crashed into a livery cab while driving his BMW at 70 miles per hour, killing Nathan Glauber, 21, and his wife, Raizy, 21, who was seven months pregnant with their son, Tanchem. He was delivered alive, but died the next day.
Acevedo fled the scene of the accident, but was arrested by police 4 days later.
In 2015, Acevedo was convicted of two counts of second-degree manslaughter, one count of criminally negligent homicide and two counts of leaving the scene of an incident without reporting in Feb. 2015 after a trial.
Acevedo faced up to 15 years in prison on the top count, but because he was a persistent felony offender, he received an enhanced sentence of 25 years to life in prison.
But Acevedo’s convictions were overturned today by the Second Judicial Department of the Appellate Court of New York State. The court ruled that the evidence against him was legally insufficient to conclude that his driving was reckless enough to be considered criminal negligence.
This leaves one charge remaining, leaving the scene of an incident without reporting it, for which Acevedo will be resentenced.
Driving 70 mph on Kent ave is not criminal negligence?
Time to take to the streets. No justice no peace.
There were clips of the freak accident iirc. Was pretty obvious that he was driving reckless, possibly drunk. What else do they need to keep this corruped animal of a laundry list of felonies off the street? I agree to allow him another chance (not second because he’s riddled with crime) if he gets to live next door to this uberbenevelont judge who shall remain unarmed.
Pure evil
My heart just wants to reach out and hug this sweet couple and their families…
HaShem (HKBH) to rightly Judge and avenge
Send him back where he came from.
That fateful night will never forget that reckless driver snatched away my dear cousin Along with her husband .nothing will bring her back .We so much miss her smile on her face and sense of humor.
An habitual life of crime , culminating with Three fatalities , and he gets a slap on the wrist?
Welcom to סדום
You vote for progressive skunks you get stinking laws or better lawlessness. Vote Republican down the line.
Only Liberal judges can twist evidence of criminal negligence into nothing. I wonder why their deaths following his leaving the scene aren’t chargeable as manslaughter.
Bitter irony on the Attorney last names too….
A good reason not to vote for the Democrats.
NO JUSTICE NO PEACE !!!
