NYC crash suspect pleads not guilty to manslaughter

Posted: Updated:
NEW YORK (AP) - A driver has pleaded not guilty to three counts of manslaughter in a crash in New York City that killed a pregnant woman and her husband. The couple's premature baby was delivered after the wreck but died a day later.

Julio Acevedo also pleaded not guilty Thursday to criminally negligent homicide.

A lesser charge, announced earlier this month, accuses him of leaving the scene of the accident in Brooklyn.

Police say Acevedo was speeding on March 3 before crashing into the hired car carrying Nachman and Raizy Glauber. The defendant was later arrested in Bethlehem, Pa.

His family has described Acevedo as a loving, stay-at-home dad. His lawyer says it was a tragic accident and not a crime.
