A judge has ruled against the request of Volodymyr Zhukovskyy to leave select statements made to police out of his upcoming trial, reports WCAX.
Zhukovskyy is the pickup truck driver who has been charged with causing the deaths of seven motorcyclists last year in Randolph.
Attorneys for Zhukovskyy state that their client indicated during a police interview last June that he could no longer continue, and that the continuation of the conversation was a violation of the man’s Miranda Rights.
According to the attorneys, police suspended the interview momentarily before continuing their lines of questioning about the driver’s drug use and whereabouts on June 21, 2019, the date of the fatal incident.
Prosecutors argued that his statement was ambiguous.
A judge has now concluded that Zhukovskyy’s Miranda Rights were not violated.
The alleged criminal has pleaded not guilty to multiple counts of negligent homicide.
