Yonkers Insider: Statement from Westchester County District Attorney Office.

 

DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S STATEMENT ON THE CASE OF THE 2022 DEATH OF STEPINAC STUDENT IN YONKERS.

 

“The Westchester County District Attorney’s Office has remained committed to seeking justice for CJ Hackett and his family. We consistently recommended to the Court that the defendant receive the maximum sentence under the law of two and one-third to seven years in state prison for the vehicular manslaughter of the 16-year-old Stepinac High School student. 

 

“While we are disappointed that the Court’s promised sentence today will not reflect our recommendation, the defendant, Stephen Dolan, is going to prison.  

 

“Our thoughts remain with the Hackett family and the Yonkers and Stepinac communities.”
