Deshon Johnson Bus Driver Romaine who killed him Walk Away Free. Victim Joseph Currier NJ Transit Bus Driver Collier Who Killed him Draws Probationary Term
NJ Transit bus driver Wilson Romaine 65 was never sentence,
charged nor was any bail money set for the bus driver in death of
pedestrian/passenger 22 year old Deshon Johnson from Montclair NJ. On Wednesday
July 18, 2012 Romaine failed to pick up Johnson while waiting at the bus stop.
Johnson was singling to the bus driver to stop but he continues to drive
recklessly when Romaine approached the flat surface handicap curb at the
intersection on Broad where victim Johnson stood. When Romaine knocked Johnson
down he proceeded to drag Johnson far distance around the corner of Bay Avenue
in Bloomfield NJ to his death. Newly discover information shows that Johnson
was at the bus front door not rear as Romaine road over Johnson twice with the
front and back wheel.
On the other hand, NJ Transit bus driver Catherine Collier 67
was sentence a year ago for pedestrian/passenger Mr. Currier from Passaic NJ.
Mr. Currier just existed off the bus on Main and Brook Avenues driven by
Collier when she road over the victim Currier as he step off the curb into the
crosswalk on Main Avenue when he was killed by reckless bus driver Collier.
Collier proceeded to drive while at the intersection as the traffic light was
turning from yellow to red and hit victim.
According to North Jersey http://www.northjersey.com/news/ex-nj-transit-bus-driver-in-fatal-pedestrian-accident-draws-probationary-term-1.1172860 article Ms Collier, stated “It was not my intention
for this to happen,” Catherine Collier, 67, said at her sentencing in state
Superior Court in Paterson. Yet Collier was sentenced to a one-year
suspended jail term, which she will not have to serve if she completes
probation without violations. The judge ordered Collier to perform 150 hours of
community service geared towards educating young adults about safe driving…
“That is the only positive message that can come from this double tragedy,” the
judge said.
Ex-NJ Transit bus driver Collier was charged with vehicular
homicide after the bus she was driving struck and killed 49-year-old Joseph
Currier of Passaic on Sept. 27, 2012. Collier initially was charged with a
second-degree offense, but later pleaded guilty to a fourth-degree charge of assault-by-auto.
According to NJ Transit bus company/Community Coach USA spokes
person stated that it was not Romaine attention to kill Johnson. However, under
the newly discover information audio you can hear Romaine confessing twice in
seeing victim Johnson. Also, in the audio you heard the lawyer
telling Romaine remember you did not see anyone.
Needless
to say, it was not Collier attention to kill Currier but she was charged. Two productive
citizens was killed by a reckless NJ Transit bus driver but one bus driver was
charged/ suspended from her NJ Transit job for her victim Currier death and the
other bus driver was not charged for Johnson death. Romaine walks away a free
man record.http://www.northjersey.com/news/grand-jury-clears-driver-in-bloomfield-fatal-accident-1.544433 and went back to work
operating NJ Transit/Community Coach Bus with a bad driving Sadly to say,
Johnson case was handled poorly by Essex
County Prosecutors.
Here you have two mothers Johnson and Currier devastated by the
loss of their sons. Currier ‘son’s killer has limit accountability which is not
enough and Johnson’s mother is still fighting to get the bus driver brought up
on charges.
The death of these two mother sons hit them very hard and both
parents want a stiff sentence. Naomi is seeking for justice her son like
Currier.
According to North Jersey article Currier “This has hit
me very, very hard,” she said, asking the judge for a stiff sentence. “His life
was taken away. I like to see justice done for my son.” http://www.northjersey.com/ne
NJ Transit rep. think money can buy a human life and everyone
can move on with their life so it can be done and over with. These two mothers
cannot move on with their life they both cannot not spend those special
holidays or events with their children. There are no dollar amount for the lost
of both parents son. Naomi said that it is hard to put a price on her son’s
life. NJ Transit Bus Company does not put high value on human safety they
more concern about dollar signs.
