A 19-year-old driver was arraigned on upgraded charges Wednesday for the death of a jogger in Huntington Village two weeks ago.
Shea Rosen was arraigned on vehicular manslaughter as part of the new grand jury indictment against him. He had already been charged with driving while impaired by drugs for fatally hitting teacher Amanda Malloy with his car on Nov. 6. Malloy?s friend Vinnie Saunders was hit as well, but survived.
Rosen pleaded not guilty to the new charge, and the judge kept bail at $500,000 cash, $1 million bond, according to his lawyer.
A lawyer for Saunders released a statement saying Rosen could be sued for damage as well. Saunders is recovering, but is unable to walk and is in the early stages of a long rehabilitation, the attorney says.
Prosecutors say Rosen had four car accidents in a five-month period earlier this year. If convicted on the manslaughter charge, he faces up to seven years in prison.
