Court went as well as it could have on Tuesday. The guy pleaded guilty to aggravated involuntary manslaughter. The judge who will sentence him, Judge Alper, is the judge we want -- she reads everything that comes her way regarding the case, rather than having her clerks read some of it. This means that she will personally read each of our victim impact statements!
They set a sentencing date; however our lawyer is unavailable that day, so they must reschedule. It likely will be the first week in April, but of course, I will post the sentencing date as soon as we know it. Please consider coming to the sentencing hearing, and it's very important for you tell me if you plan to do so.
Please have your victim impact statements to me by Friday, February 15. Please note that there is no page limit, so feel free to include anything you'd like to say.
On Tuesday, June 5, 2007, my brother Nathan Marti, a uniformed Diplomatic Security officer at the State Department, was riding his motorcycle to work on 395-N into Washington, DC. He was struck head on and killed instantly by a drunk driver going the wrong way. Nathan was only 25 years old.
