On Tuesday, Jersey City Councilwoman Amy DeGise made her only court appearance in connection to a hit-and-run accident. She pleaded guilty, was fined and had her driver's license taken away for a year. csloantv reports.
The councilwoman's father, powerful Hudson County Executive Tom DeGise, was in the courtroom Tuesday to support her."What if during that moment, that lapse of judgment, that terrible lapse in judgment, something even worse had occurred?" the judge said.
"The individual who got hit on the bike received attention immediately, okay? So her judgement in leaving was wrong," Neary said. "Obviously, she thinks that she can escape consequences and get other people in position, whether it's the governor or Mayor Fulop, to stay quiet about this, and I think it's time for that to change," activist Kevin Bing said.
