At the Nassau County Courthouse in Mineola, the case against Amandeep Singh, 35, of Roslyn, charged with the deaths of two teenagers in a wrong-way crash last May, took a dramatic turn as new police body camera footage was presented. The video evidence reveals Singh admitting to drinking and driving on the night of the collision that claimed the lives of 14-year-old tennis stars Ethan Falkowitz and Drew Hassenbein.
The Nassau County grand jury indicted Singh on aggravated vehicular homicide, multiple counts of vehicular manslaughter, and driving while intoxicated. Despite his legal team’s efforts to suppress the bodycam evidence citing a violation of his right against self-incrimination, the footage played during the hearing showed Singh continuing to speak even after being informed of his rights.
In a visibly emotional state, Singh is captured expressing remorse for his actions, lamenting the loss of his hard work and the impact on his family. As relatives of both the victims and the accused filled the courtroom, the grief was palpable with audible sobs punctuating the tense atmosphere.
