WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) - A suburban New York woman accused of fatally striking a college student while driving drunk has pleaded not guilty.
Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino Jr. says 25-year-old Emma Fox of Rye was arraigned Monday on vehicular manslaughter and other indictment charges.
The 21-year-old Manhattanville College lacrosse player, Robbie Schartner, was killed last October as he walked back to campus from a night out in White Plains.
The defendant told police that she took her eyes off the road to check her GPS.
According to the Journal News (https://lohud.us/2wSOTRO ), defense lawyer Stephen Lewis says Fox has to live with the fact that there’s nothing anyone can do to “bring that young man back.”
Schartner was a graduate of Brookfield High School in Connecticut.
