An off-duty Jersey City police officer will spend up to a decade in prison for killing a pedestrian as she crossed a lower Manhattan street.
Martin Abreu, a Jersey City police officer since 2005, was sentenced Tuesday. He pleaded guilty on Dec. 16 to aggravated vehicular homicide.
Abreu's vehicle mowed down Marilyn Huang Feng a year ago as she walked near Battery Park City. The 26-year-old aspiring lawyer died at the scene, and her boyfriend was critically injured.
Authorities said Abreu was drunk, and according to witness accounts, he was driving more than double the speed limit.
Abreu will be eligible for parole in 3 1/2 years. His maximum sentence is 10 1/2 years.
