TRENTON - A man has pleaded not guilty to aggravated
manslaughter and other charges stemming from a chain reaction crash last year
that killed the retired director of Princeton University's Center for Jewish
Life.
Eric Maltz, of Princeton, entered his pleas during a court
hearing yesterday. He also faces counts of death by auto and assault by auto,
and could face up to 30 years in prison if convicted on all counts.
Mercer County prosecutors say the 21-year-old Maltz was
speeding and driving recklessly in March 2012 when he crossed lanes and struck
an unoccupied car. That car then careened into a Prius that 74-year-old Rabbi
James Diamond was getting into on the passenger side.
Diamond was pronounced dead at the scene. The Prius driver
was seriously injured.
