BREAKING: A verdict has been reached in the motor vehicle homicide trial over a toddler's death in South Boston in 2018.
The judge says the short answer is no, but it’s more complicated than that. Says the van driver who hit Casey’s care is not relieved of his duty to exercise care for his safety and the safety of others.The McGrath family fills the rows of this courtroom. They are sobbing.Prosecutors allege Casey was behind the wheel of her Prius on East Sixth Street, stopped at the intersection with L Street, when a southbound driver on L Street waved her through the intersection.
Investigators allege Casey’s Prius crashed into the van, causing it to lose its steering and sending it hurtling toward the sidewalk on L Street. A caretaker was pushing Colin McGrath in his stroller, with his sister walking alongside them, when the van Casey’s car hit jumped the curb and struck all three of them on the sidewalk.
Before closing arguments in Suffolk Superior Court Tuesday, the defense called witnesses to the stand, including Kevin Bui, who said that he waved Casey through the intersection on the day of the crash. He said they made eye contact. Then, he said he waved to her to go, she nudged out and then hit the van that would ultimately hit the children.
