Man accused of driving drunk, killing pedestrian freed due to new criminal justice reforms
A man who allegedly hit and killed a pedestrian while driving drunk in East Harlem is back on the streets for now â thanks to the stateâs new criminal justice reforms, authorities said Thursday.
Farkell Hopkins, 23, was arrested on charges of vehicular manslaughter and DWI at the scene of the deadly New Yearâs Eve collision, but was cut loose before he was even arraigned.
The Manhattan District Attorneyâs office said prosecutors still intend to pursue the case, but they now have to ensure theyâre able to turn over all their evidence to Hopkinsâ defense team within a tight 15-day time-frame, thanks to new soft-on-crime laws that went into effect Jan. 1... as vehicular manslaughter is among the more than 400 offenses that are no longer bail-eligible under the sweeping criminal justice reforms, sources told The Post.
