Former Corrections Officer Convicted of Fatal Hit and Run
BRIDGEPORT — Her jaw clenched in the pose of indignity she has held since her arrest two years ago, former corrections officer Patricia Daniels was convicted Friday of intentionally causing the crash that killed a woman and injured her young son.
Two years and five days after the fatal crash on Boston Avenue on Dec. 4, 2014, a state Superior Court jury of three men and three women found the 44-year-old Daniels guilty of first-degree manslaughter, misconduct with a motor vehicle, risk of injury to a child and evading responsibility.
She faces up to 45 years in prison when she is sentenced Jan. 27 by Judge John Kavanewsky Jr.
