The victim, 16-year-old Christopher Jack Hackett, known as C.J., was riding an electric scooter when police say 46-year-old Stephen Dolan hit him with a van last summer.
They say he allegedly told police he was blackout drunk and thought he hit a cone in the road.
Prosecutors say the damage to the vehicle was so extensive that there was human hair embedded in the windshield.He stood in front of a courtroom packed with C.J.'s friends, family, and classmates.In court, prosecutors argued for higher bail, citing new information from police as they retraced Dolan's actions the night of the crash.
He allegedly visited two bars and video shows him consuming at least 17 drinks including shots and beers.He was arrested the day after the crashHe is facing seven years in prison, and the victim's father says he wants Dolan to get the maximum sentence in this case. "It's been 185 days and it's not getting any easier, and he's still home with his family," Chris Hackett said. "It's just tough, it's just tough."
The judge kept the defendant's bail at $100,000. However, Dolan will now be fitted for an electronic monitoring device.
