From the Hartford Courant:
Police want to charge a state legislator with criminally negligent homicide in connection with the January death of Carol Sinisgalli, who died of exposure in a remote area of Rocky Hill.
Prosecutors in Superior Court in New Britain are reviewing an arrest warrant application seeking to charge state Rep. James O’Rourke, sources close to the investigation said. The warrant must be signed by a prosecutor and a judge before an arrest may be made. Criminally negligent homicide is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and/or a fine of up to $2,000.
O’Rourke’s attorney, Jake Donovan, said he had no comment Thursday evening. O’Rourke could not be reached.
