The testimony of New Jersey state-hired psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Greenfield was postponed this week after poor weather and a last-minute
motion by the defense combined to push back his planned testimony. The psychiatry expert will testify Feb.10th in the trial of a
drunken driver accused of killing two teenage girls in Kinnelon, NJ. Eugene Baum, Jr., is accused of running down cousins Mayada and Athear Jafar on
April 20, 2006, and faces two counts each of aggravated manslaughter and
death by auto. Baum’s BAC level at the time of the crash was found to
be .305, nearly four times the limit that a driver is considered
legally intoxicated. Greenfield's report, which the prosecution planned to use to educate the jury
about the physiological effects of alcohol, includes graphs and tables
representing the relative probability of motor vehicle accidents caused
by rising blood alcohol content levels.
