Jury deliberating in vehicular homicide case
A Hamilton County Criminal Court jury is deliberating this afternoon in the case of Bachar Martin, a Dayton, Tenn., man charged with vehicular homicide after a car in which he was a passenger struck and killed a man.
Mr. Martin, 27, is charged with vehicular homicide by driver intoxication and DUI by consent. Jeremiah Mann, who pleaded guilty to driving the Lincoln Navigator that struck and killed Dwight Brooks in 2004, was intoxicated at the time of the wreck.
Mr. Martin, 27, testified on his own behalf, saying that if he “ever thought for one minute that (Mr. Mann) wasn’t OK to drive, I wouldn’t have let him.”
Prosecutor Jay Woods said that “together (the two men) put that car out there on the road.”
He said Mr. Martin is criminally responsible in the death of Mr. Brooks.
The trial is expected to conclude today in Judge Rebecca Stern’s courtroom.
