Re: Nuggets' JR Smith seriously injured in car accident
I worked in the Ocean County NJ Prosecutor's Office for three years and I can't imagine the driver of the vehicle, whether it was Smith or someone else, not being charged with Vehicular Homicide. Under NJ law it's all but guaranteed if a driver runs a stop sign and a death results, the driver will be held responsible for the death. An on-duty State Trooper involved in a high speed pursuit last September was charged with Vehicular Homocide when he ran a stop sign and hit a minivan resulting in a death. In NJ Vehicular Homicide is second degree felony and carries a maximum 10 years in prison if convicted.
