Nazy Soldier kills 2, paralyzes 1 in DUI crash, found not guilty

Norfolk— The father of a young woman killed in what prosecutors called a drunk-driving crash attacked the defense attorney outside court on Tuesday, moments after the jury acquitted the driver of causing two deaths and severely hurting a third passenger.

Simon Kok, a retired New York detective and father of 22-year-old Lauren Kok, charged at defense attorney Andrew Sacks outside of Norfolk Circuit Court. Kok was restrained by a police officer who had testified in the trial, but not before Kok knocked over Sacks' file boxes an kicked the attorney's luggage cart.

The confrontation came as NewsChannel 3 was interviewing the defense attorney about the verdict. Kok, a soft-spoken man from Staten Island, was angered in part because of Sacks' suggestions to the jury about his daughter. Sacks said that Lauren Kok - the only person sober in the car - might have engaged in some kind of "sexual shenanigans" in the back seat. That, according to Sacks, was part of a series of distractions that contributed to the crash. The lawyer based that on a paramedic who said he found Lauren outside the crashed car without her pants.

Special Prosecutor B. Thomas Reed said Lauren's pants probably ripped as bystanders pulled her from the crumpled and burning wreckage. He told the jury the defense speculations were "absurd." A surviving passenger, Ryan Petrosky, testified none of the passengers did anything to distract Freeman. The crash killed Lauren Kok and Cameron Richardson. Rear-seat passengers Ryan Petrosky and Thomas Jaskel survived, but Jaskel, a former Navy helicopter pilot, is paralyzed and severely brain damaged. Richard B. Freeman III had been charged with aggravated involuntary manslaughter and maiming, but the jury declared him not guilty on all charges.

None of the four passengers in the car knew the driver. The four accepted a ride from Freeman when they could not reach a cab company at closing time at the Red Dog Saloon on Colley Avenue in July, 2009. According to testimony, the four thought Freeman was sober, but a hospital blood test after the crash showed he was among the most intoxicated. A toxicologist said his blood-alcohol concentration was at least 0.10, over the state's legal limit of 0.08.

Woman Arrested On 1977 DWI Charge

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- An Orange County woman was picked up on an outstanding warrant from 34 years ago. The warrant stems from a 1977 DWI charge.
The clerk of court does have records that far back, but some are destroyed after they're cleared up. That's part of the reason Jessica Pierce hired an attorney to have the case being heard at the courthouse dismissed.
Pierce is 57 years old. She walks with a cane because she's had a stroke and three heart attacks. A back surgery has her on heavy doses of pain medication.
Pierce was driving her Camero in late February when Orange County deputies pulled her over, along SR-50.
"I didn't realize they were after me because I wasn't doing anything wrong," Pierce said.
Pierce had an outstanding warrant for failure to appear on a DWI charge from 1977. She was arrested and booked into the Orange County jail.
Pierce now faces 6 months in jail for something that happened 34 years ago. She's hired attorney Adam Haba, who believes the case should be dismissed.
"For that officer to be able to recall the exact details of that investigation, her state-of-mind at the time, that's going to be a difficult task to accomplish," Haba said.
A spokesperson for the Orange County Sheriff's Office said it is not uncommon. There are no expiration dates on warrants.
They can only be cleared up in court, which Pierce believes she did decades ago.
The problem is that the clerk of courts may not have proof on file because records are destroyed every five years on certain closed cases.
Pierce's attorney said the kicker is her license was re-instated in 2002, and the state even issued a new one in 2008.
"I told them, I'm not a criminal, wasn't doing anything wrong. I took care of this matter," she said.
Officials at the Department of Motor Vehicles said a license can be re-instated after a drunk-driving charge, regardless of any outstanding criminal charges.
Pierce will be in court for the case next Tuesday.
