A Virginia woman who was arrested in the deadly hit-and-run death of Hot Shot Hampton’s broker Sara Burack thought she had hit a traffic cone, her lawyer claimed judicial performance during a Saturday morning.
Mariene biologist Amanda Kempton did not argue and was released from police detention after her family, who lived in Manorville, set collaterally instead of $ 100,000 bail, said officials during her preliminary guide in Southampton Town Justice Court.
Kempton, 32, choked the tears back when the public prosecutor MacDonald Drane asked the high bail and described her as a escape risk that fled the scene and was set up to return to Virginia for a wedding on Saturday.
She is confronted in prison for seven years on a crime accusation of leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident in which there is a deadly.
The scientist is said to have spent time in a tavern before the incident on Thursday in which she was said to have mowed Burack in Hampton Bays, said prosecutors.
Alcohol is not considered a factor in the case, Kempton’s lawyer told the court.
Burack, 40, who specialized in high -end homes and played in the hit “Million Dollar Beach House”, ran in the lane in the western lane with a pink suitcase when she was hit on Montauk Highway.
Kempton grew up in Virginia and obtained diplomas in microbiology and marine biology of George Mason University and Nova Southovern University in Florida, according to social media.
This year she worked in Camp Jekyll van 4-H, located on the Jekyll Island of Georgia, according to a Facebook message.
Kempton, who previously worked for a museum in Bridhampton, wore an orange sweatshirt and black pants while her family was silent in court.
The area was foggy and Kempton did not see the victim – instead of having hit a traffic cone instead, her lawyer, William Keahon, told the court.
She left the scene and went to a friend’s house, where she found the big, pink, pink, pink suitcase of Burack that lay under her vehicle, Keahon added.
Authorities used a license plate reader to follow the movements of Kempton and found her vehicle, with a damaged front -end, at her family’s house, said officers of justice.
Kempton and her family refused comments after the procedure.
