"Monmouth County man gets 30-day sentence for drunk-driving death
by The Star-Ledger Continuous News Desk
Thursday June 11, 2009, 8:54 AM

A judge sentenced a Monmouth County man 30 days for the drunk driving death of a 22-year-old man who was also intoxicated and had cocaine in his system, a report in the Asbury Park Press said

According to the report, Mark Rich, from Neptune, was driving a yellow Corvette down Route 35 when he slammed into Christopher Nowak and continued to drive for nearly a mile, with Nowak's head lodged in the front windshield and his feet jammed in the rear window and with his blood seeping into the car. Nowak was walking in the middle of Route 35 intoxicated and wearing dark clothing at 11:30 p.m., the report said.

Rich's driver's license was suspended for one year, to begin after the one-year suspension the state Motor Vehicle Commission already put in place, and Rich was fined $506 plus court costs and fees, the report said. Rich had been charged with vehicular homicide, a charge that carries a maximum of 10 years in prison, but a grand jury last year refused to indict him."

wow

although i have almost hit several people (stone sober) who wear dark clothing at night in the street....


actually, a few months ago, i was driving home from work (about 10ish) and i had to slam on breaks and run on the side of the road cause there was a guy who was riding a bike, in dark clothes and probably drunk (when i slammed i heard him yelling obscenities and whatnot, pretty much laughing at me)....i damn near got stuck in the ditch...if i could go back i'd haul after his ass, several other cars did the same thing after i passed him.....

i read an article that said some one called the cops ab the "victim" standing in the street. if he was in the street long enough for some one to call the cops it wasn't like he darted out in front of the guy's car.

gotta start keepin coke and jack in my car so when i'm drunk and murder someone i can just pour it on the body.

Mark Rich should've been acquitted. Unintentionally hitting jaywalkers is not a crime.
That being said, instances of driving accidents that kill where the driver was actually at fault, should be punishable by life in prison.

can you say contributory negligence? I have no problem with the driver of the car getting a reduced sentence in this case

Well, I have a problem with him getting a sentence at all. This is total bullshit.
"vehicular homicide"?? Yeah-fucking-right...

(If any of you ever commit suicide, make sure you frame a political enemy for vehicular homicide.)

Um the guy was walking in the middle of the road hammered out of his skull wearing camo pants and a brown sweater i think. we didn't even see him till he was a few feet in front of us. He crapped himself with such force that it traveled down his pantleg and wound up on his socks. knocked him out of shoes. knocked all of his teeth loose and turned the hood of the truck we were in into a horseshoe.
Honestly if he hadn't been drunk he would have died right there, (also he'd probably have not been in the road at night) but as it were, he went home from the hospital the next day. amazing
point is, we were stone sober and it didn't make any difference at all. dont exactly see why a reduction in faculties (if we'd been drunk) should have garnered an increase in liability. doesn't make sense

Hitting someone that's walking in the road wearing dark clothes is one thing, but driving an extra mile with his carcass on your car is a bit different. I personally think his DL should have been suspended for longer, but I think the jail time is appropriate.

well, if you're going 160 mph, it doesn't take much to go one mile.

well if I were drunk and drove a corvette then hit a guy, I'm sure my reaction skills to what just happened would also be slowed to the point of where it'll take me a mile worth of driving to figure out that I just hit someone and that someone is logged in windshield and ruining my awesome leather interior...

I wonder if that corvette will be sold at a state auction for cheap. With my record and the car's history, I'd probably hit a deer with similar results...
