The case against a suspended Greece Police Officer accused in a hit and run crash is expected to continue in court today. Nick Joseph is accused of the hit and run crash on Route 390 in June that injured a pregnant woman forcing her to deliver her baby girl 15 weeks pre-maturely.
Nick Joseph denies that drugs or alcohol played a role in what happened, but prosecutors say it's one of the factors in the case against him. Sources told News10NBC, cocaine was found in Joseph’s blood that night.
Joseph is scheduled to appear before Judge Affronti in what's called a Frye hearing, which will determine whether DNA evidence can be used at trial.
According to Joseph's deposition, he called Greece Police Sergeant Andrew Elmore about 10 hours after the crash to ask how the woman in the accident was.
"It hurts law enforcement all around to have one of our own on trial, it's very hard, but he's got his day in court,” Retired Greece Police Sergeant Andrew Elmore said.
News 10NBC will be at the Hall of Justice for this hearing and will bring you the latest information as it becomes available.
