Illinois man arraigned on reckless homicide charges


Lake County, IL - Following a tragic May 23, 2009 accident that left a young man dead, the driver of the vehicle, Andrew Burkhardt, age 22, of Warren Township, Illinois, was arraigned on Wednesday. Mr. Burkhardt entered a plea of not guilty in the Lake County Circuit Court, and is scheduled to be tried on September 28th.

If convicted, Mr. Burkhardt faces a maximum of 14 years in state prison.

Burkhardt's alcohol level is reported to have been .124. He also, according to reports, had marijuana in his system, although it is unclear whether the State will be able to prove that the marijuana impaired his ability to drive.

He sustained facial injuries and was taken to a hospital in Park Ridge following the accident.
