Similar Stories to Stamford Woman Pleads Guilty To Reduced Charges on Bing News

Over sobs in the courtroom from the still grieving families of Felipe Chagas and Lucas Silva, Candace Blanks, 43, appeared in a fourth floor courtroom at state Superior Court in Stamford and pleaded guilty to driving while under the influence. Blanks' Navigator never struck any part of the car Chagas and Silva were changing the tire on, he said. Because of the lack of evidence against her, the manslaughter charges were never filed, Weiss said. Weiss said the state's case against Blanks was further complicated because state police, thinking that the case had already been settled, destroyed the car and most of the state's evidence in 2013. [...] Bloss said that state law requires that a blood or breath sample be taken from any operator involved in an accident causing serious physical injury or death. The criminal justice system has, on this occasion, let down the family of Lucas Silva and those who are counting on it to protect innocent victims of misconduct.
