Hey, Brooklyn DA Charles Hynes? You Need to Go. Here Are 8 Reasons Why.
1) Drivers Can Kill Pedestrians Without Facing Consequences
Clara Heyworth was struck and killed by a driver without a valid license and with alcohol on his breath. The Brooklyn DA’s office asked for the offender to serve a 15-day sentence, but it was determined this week that the young man will serve no jail time. Heyworth’s widower believes this was the judge’s message to the DA that the case was unforgiveably mismanaged. Police officer Andrew Kelly killed Vionique Valnord in 2009 while driving drunk and was sentenced to only 90-days in jail. Firefighter Pat Quagliariello was driving and texting when he struck and killed Manuel Tzaj Guachiac in Bensonhurst in 2010. Quagliariello did not stop and refused to cooperate with investigators after they traced the car back to him. He struck a deal with Hynes’ office and served no jail time.
