earlier this month after prosecutors argued that he intentionally failed to properly maintain an SUV-style stretch limo, which then failed to brake on a downhill stretch of road in Schoharie, a village west of Albany.
Judge Peter Lynch sentenced Hussain to an indeterminate term of 5 to 15 years in prison. The state's parole board will determine when Hussain will be released after he serves the minimum. “October 6, 2018 is the date forever burned into my heart and soul,” said a tearful Bethany King, who lost four members of her family in the crash. “You have received a justified guilty verdict,” King said to Hussain, who was looking down, “while the rest of us here have received a life sentence.”
Prosecutors presented evidence at the trial that the limo had been allowed to deteriorate, and that Hussain's rental company had taken steps to keep it on the road, despite a failed inspection that should have taken it out of service.
