Vehicular Homicide- Update From New York

Earlier this year I wrote a post called The Crime Not Committed Yet Punished. It addressed the vehicular homicide case in New York involving  Koua Fong Lee. He was convicted after his Toyota Camry hit another car, tragically killing the occupants in that vehicle. At trial and prior to the Toyota recalls on brake system in several models, Lee testified that he pumped the brakes on his car and the car accelerated. Lee was just granted a new trial. He was released from prison after serving 2 1/2 years. It is unclear whether the District Attorney will proceed with a second trial, stating that she would not "prolong the case".
