Joshua Malmgren, Drunken Driver Who Killed Teens, Tells Court: 'I Am A Monster'
Posted in: Today's ChiliCAPE MAY COURT HOUSE, N.J. (AP) — A drunken driver who was texting when he struck and killed two teenage cousins in New Jersey has been sentenced to 18 years in prison and calls himself a monster.
The Press of Atlantic City reports (http://bit.ly/1wG9tyY ) that 33-year-old Joshua Malmgren, of Middle Township, received a nine-year sentence for each victim. He pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter in September. Malmgren expressed his remorse, saying: “I am a monster. I am so lost.”
Prosecutors say 15-year-old Nioami Lazicki, of Middle Township, and 13-year-old Ashley Dauber, of Philadelphia, were walking to get ice cream in July 2012 when Malmgren hit them with his SUV.
Nioami’s 14-year-old sister just missed being struck.
Two of Malmgren’s friends noticed he was intoxicated that night and offered him a ride home, but he refused.
