Defendant Joshua M. Corcran (06F04949X) unconditionally waived his right to a preliminary hearing this morning in Justice Court Dept. 3. Corcran has agreed to enter into a negotiated plea agreement with prosecutors charging him with 5 counts of reckless driving. He will enter a plea at 10:30 a.m. June 8 in the Arraignment Court of the Eighth Judicial District Court.
Corcran was charged with reckless driving and involuntary manslaughter following a February 19 traffic accident that caused the deaths of Victor De La Cruz-De Leon, Reymunda Lopez-Vazquez, Jose Manuel Lopez-Sanchez and Jose Roberto Mejia Lang. Another passenger, Cecilia Cruz, was injured in the accident.
The negotiated plea agreement removes the involuntary manslaughter counts. Corcran faces a sentence ranging from probation to 30 years in prison.
