If anything this is worse. If they were still conscious afterward it would've been slow and excruciating. A gun can easily be instantaneous. This was personal.no different than a gun.
Suspected NJ stalker was driving 70 mph when he allegedly killed teen girls on e-bike: court records
Vincent Battiloro was allegedly driving nearly three times faster than the 25 mph speed limit when he plowed into Maria Niotis and Isabella Salas, court records show.nypost.com
He was charged as an adult. Might as well, he was only a month from turning 18.
He has been charged as a juvenile but will almost certainly be waived up.
What an odd thing to say. People don't die slowly and excruciatingly from gunshot wounds?
From the same article."I do unequivocably condemn the actions of the accused, and like you, I demand that he face the consequences of his alleged actions in a court of law. As a law enforcement officer, I maintain full faith and confidence in our criminal justice system, and that it will ensure he is held fully accountable. I, too, pray for these families. I, too, demand full accountability and justice," he said.
Westfield police chief says Cranford accused murderer not his son, condemns actions
Westfield Police Chief Christopher Battiloro confirmed the accused driver is a relative, but not his son.www.mycentraljersey.com
Sounds like he didn't care enough to stop the harassment that she had been complaining about for months...
Was reading an article about this case in The New York Times and this new piece of info stood out to me. There’s so much evidence that he was harassing Maria for months. It’s incredibly disturbing. Also, incredibly infuriating that not more was done to protect this poor girl.
“Elio Martinez, 17, another friend of Maria’s, said that Maria and Vincent had gone to school together and that she had complained to the principal and the police about him. The Cranford police declined to comment, as did officials at the high school that Elio said Maria and Vincent attended.
Elio shared screenshots with a New York Times reporter of an exchange of Instagram messages in April between him and an account linked to Vincent’s other social media accounts.
In the exchange, Elio told Vincent to stop bothering Maria, who was Elio’s girlfriend then. Vincent threatened to release nude photos of her.
“I’m not leaving her alone until she apologizes to me,” he added. Vincent sent Elio a nude photo of a girl.
“I did it to one girl,” Vincent wrote. “I’ll do it to another.” He added: “Keep running your mouth and I’ll create your girls nudes” right now.”

I said "can easily be instantaneous". Either the death or loss of consciousness. The ones that are slower and more painful, though, like to the gut, also give you more time to get to the hospital, often before it's too late. There are other ways that are considered more personal, where the perp is enraged and wants them to suffer at their own hands, like manual strangulation, which is torturous. In this case he would've felt the impact with his car.
