celeb news Man who killed Nicki Minaj's dad is sentenced to 1 year in prison

[Daydream]

 

The driver who killed Nicki Minaj's father, Robert Maraj, in a hit-and-run was just sentenced to time behind bars.

 

Charles Polevich was ordered to serve 1 year in jail Wednesday after pleading guilty to two felony charges -- leaving the scene of an incident without reporting and tampering with physical evidence. On top of that, his driver's license will be suspended for 6 months and he'll pay a $5,000 fine.

 

Polevich was facing up to 7 years behind bars, but Judge Howard Sturim followed through with a commitment to sentence him to no more than one year in jail.

 

Nicki's dad died at the age of 64 after being struck in a hit-and-run accident back in February 2021.

 

At the time, cops said the driver fled the scene and tried to hide the car in a detached garage at his place. Robert was rushed to a hospital in critical condition and died from his injuries.

1 year in prison and a $5k fine is nothing for the loss of a life 

[Buddy]

[Mean Trees]

Its them corporate giants and machines again, other fanbases dedicated to take her down, and SYMPATHY.

 

This **** really pissed me the **** off. One year for a life that can never be restored, **** the American justice system. If the killer was any other race he would've gotten life.

[Body Talk]

Omg I didn't know this happened. How sad.

[dirrtydiana]

We can dislike mrs petty for obvious reasons but one year?? white privilege if we’ve ever seen it 

 

[kalli]

as much as i dislike Nicki this is disgusting  only one year?

[Erreur2 La Nature]

I'm sorry but this is a shame.

 

If this man killed by mother or my father by accident and only took one year... I would kill him with my own hands.

A one year sentence is a slap in the face for the victim & his family no matter who it is ESPECIALLY since he fled the scene & tried to hide his car afterwards. Even the suggested 7 years would've been a joke - he should be in jail for life.

[Ger]

Can't believe that's the sentence.  

[TheBoss]

ONE YEAR?? what the **** 

[Phaunzie]

In what fresh hell, is the justice system allowed to give 1 year for a hit and run murder. The original sentence made sense since he fleed the scene and tried to get rid of the evidence. That should be more than enough for 5 years.

 

Injustice I say

That's still vehicular manslaughter.

Quote

Types of Vehicular Manslaughter in New York. Second Degree Vehicular Manslaughter: According to NYPL §125.12, DWI with BAC 0.08 or higher and causes the death of another person. This is considered a class C felony and may result in a prison sentence of up to 15 years.

So 15 years tops. But that's American justice system for ya ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Danger]

1 year for a hit and run death!? That’s bullshitt…

That's for a DWI without hit & run though (this should be considered vehicular manslaughter with hit & run/tampering with evidence tacked on), but either way 1 year in jail for killing someone & then fleeing the scene is such a joke. Here in LA you can technically get up to 6 months in prison & a fine for feeding pigeons on the metro platform - so yeah goes to show you how screwed up the American justice system is.

[Dula Peep]

 Nicki must be fuming again

[Breathe On Moi]

This is absolutely disgusting and sick and just incomprehensible. Literally wtf!

And anyone that would make light of something like with a dumb joke should hope they never have to go through something like this. Sick.

[RainDreamer]

Wait does vehicular manslaughter not exist for such things? This is so wrong.

You’re literally an idiot

[Queen.]

ONE year?!? Chile... 

[BadHabits]

Despite how I feel about her and her husband, I feel this is abhorrent. No one should get that kind of sentence for doing that crime. That’s some corruption.
