19-year-olds, David Servin and Ashlie Krakowski, where killed in a tragic car accident in Connecticut, after their vehicle was hit by a police car illegally going 94 MPH. Officer Jason Anderson, was fired due to the incident and is now facing criminal charges. 

He has been working on a plea deal, which many object to, due to the severity of the tragedy. Anderson walked away from the accident with minor injuries, but the teenage couple sustained terrible trauma that led to their deaths.

Krakowski was thrown from the vehicle on impact and later died at the hospital. Servin was pronounced dead on the scene. Both were in college, with their lives ahead of them, but it was cut short by the accident. 

The case has been plagued with problems. When lawyers for the teens requested documents and videos from the Milford police department, under the Freedom of Information Act, one of Anderson's colleagues deleted some of the dashboard camera footage, suspiciously claiming his deeds to be an accident. However, many attributed it to a cover up.

Some items were recovered, with the video posted above serving as one of the key pieces of evidence in the case. The video illustrates Jason Anderson and fellow officer, Rick Pisani, were drag racing on a busy public street. Pisani was going over 70 MPH, which is also illegal in a 40 MPH zone.

It was later claimed the teens had been drinking. However, their lawyers correctly contend, if Anderson had not been speeding, the accident would not have happened. Anderson was traveling at a rate that was double the speed limit. This denied the teens the opportunity to safely make the appropriate turn, without him plowing into them at said excessive speed.   

Note: As the holidays are upon us, the Judiciary Report would like to take this time to remind readers not to speed or drink and drive. As this story indicates, in can turn fatal within seconds. The Judiciary Report sends its condolences to the Servin and Krakowski families.
