Man is not guilty of homicide, Dui in a fatal I-805 crash NBC 7 San Diego

A 27-year-old man from San Diego no longer committed himself to several crimes, including homicide and drive under the influence of a five-car accident on the Interstate 805 at the weekend, on which one grandmother was dead and several others were injured.

The public prosecutor claims that Markus Turner had smoked marijuana and drank alcohol before he climbed the wheel, and hit more than 100 miles per hour before the crash, which developed on Saturday on Saturday on the highway near the 43rd street shortly before 9 a.m.

Turner drove a black Honda limousine south when, according to the California Highway Patrol, he hit a silver toyota that was parked on his shoulder. In this Toyota, the 65-year-old Grasiela Gomez, who was declared dead at the scene, was dead.

Gomez 'family said that she drove from her house in Temecula to a mechanic she knew in Chula Vista when the car began to overheat, so she started to call help. Her family said she was a teacher, the homeschoolin three of her grandchildren, who were incredulously.

“It was difficult for her,” said Gomez 'ex-husband Ismael Gomez. “You couldn't accept that she was dead.”

“The oldest looked at me and said:” The doctor is wrong, she is in a coma, gets another doctor, “continued Ismael Gomez. “Wherever we go, there is a memory for you.”

Grasiiela Gomez's car was the first goal in the five-car crash, the authorities say. Turner, his two passengers and another driver were all admitted to the hospital with injuries from minor to Major, said Chp.

The public prosecutor asked the judge on Wednesday to increase the deposit of Turner to 5 million US dollars, and liked that at the time of the crash, he was already on probation for two offenses and argued that he “had no consideration of the security of a person”.

“The accused has transferred all five lanes of the motorway from the Fast Lane to Slow Lane to bypass what he would later describe as a quoted not quota of slow traffic,” said District Prosecutor Evan Andersen.

Andersen said Turner admitted to the investigators that he smoked about seven grams of marijuana before the crash, but denied alcohol – and claimed that a blood test showed a blood alcohol content of 0.165 four hours later.

Turner's public defender asked for an supervised publication and noted about a dozen family members who took part in the hearing at the hearing.

Turner stood near the window of the courtroom's posture cell, and his breath lock the glass when he nodded his head to his relatives.

“He is not a flight risk. He understands the seriousness of this case and will comply with all the conditions of the Court of Justice,” said defender Jeremy Fredericksen-Aguilar by the public defense lawyer and added that Turner could not pay off.

Ultimately, the judge kept his deposit at 500,000 US dollars and ordered – if he has deposit after the deposit – he cannot consume alcohol or driving. Next, he should appear in court on May 15th.
