    Jurors learned that the sidewalk nearest to where Mr. Fraga-Seruti was struck was blocked during the construction of an area hospital’s new dialysis center. He was walking in the right-hand lane of the roadway, wearing dark clothing, when he was hit.

    In a real sense, the state was an accomplice to his killing by failing to maintain a protected sidewalk during construction. It should’ve blocked off a lane with Jersey barriers for pedestrians to use.

    That’s on top of the rest of the corruption the article discussed.
