It's been more than three years, but Thomas Jango is still looking for justice for his brother Robert "Bobby" Jango, who was struck and killed by a truck on a Weymouth street while riding his bicycle.
"I want Bobby to get his day in court," Jango said about his 39-year-old brother, who was struck after the truck ran a red light on April 12, 2004.
"I don't want some judge saying, 'Sorry your brother's dead, but too bad.' "
Yesterday, the state's highest court ruled that the truck driver, Derrel G. Millican of Ohio, must stand trial on charges of negligent motor vehicle homicide and overturned a district court judge's ruling that ended the criminal case against Millican.
In a unanimous ruling, the Supreme Judicial Court said judges do not have the legal power to apply a common legal tactic known as "continued without a finding" in cases of misdemeanor negligent motor-vehicle homicide such as the one involving Millican.
The SJC said that the Legislature has rewritten state laws on drunken driving numerous times but has maintained an equally strong concern about deaths caused by negligent drivers.
