Back in December 2008, I posted a story about a young man (Sean McGuirk) that killed Perth Amboy Police Officer Thomas Raji (see original post here)
Yesterday he was sentenced to 8 years in prison for pleading guilty to the charges in June by the Middlesex County Court.

Just in Time for the Holidays
An indictment for drunk driving. http://www.mycentraljersey.com/article/20081212/NEWS/81212012
Only this DUI case involves a now deceased officer.
Officer Thomas Raji was killed August 22, 2008 by the accused (Sean McGuirk) after he ran a red light and collided with Officer Raji's patrol vehicle.
Officer Raji graduated the academy with my SO, I never met the man, but it still hurt knowing he knew him and that this officer will no longer see his family, friends, and yet-to-be-born baby. My prayers STILL go out to that family and i hope this indictment brings them closer to some semblance of closure.

I know the intersection very well. I go through it twice a week. To run those two stop lights is near impossible. You are either DRUNK or impatient as the first red light is about 50 feet from the 2nd and the 2nd is in between the north and south lanes of the highway.
Officer Raji's road side memorial now marks the spot where his patrol vehicle came to a stop. It's very very very sad. I thank the bank that allows the memorial to stay, to this day, on their property.
