Attorneys for a swimmer killed in an alleged drunken boating crash in Atlantic City will report the results of their months-long forensic investigation into the Aug. 12 incident.
Jeffrey Jastrzembski, 54, had a blood-alcohol level nearly 2½ times the legal limit when he turned into two women swimming near the by the Albany Avenue Bridge, according to criminal charges filed against him.
One of the women was able to dive under the boat and escape harm.
Norma Michaels, 79, of Ventnor, was struck by a propeller and killed.
Attorneys from the Saltz Mongeluzzi Bendesky law firm will announce the findings Monday afternoon, in the same area where the Philadelphia marketing executive died.
Her three daughters will be among the family gathered at the news conference, the day after their first Mother's Day without their mother.
Jastrzembski was indicted in March.
Many patrons at the nearby Wonder Bar saw the incident, yelling for Jastrzembski to slow down.
Instead, he abruptly turned into the two women swimming near the dock, according to the charges.
Several people said they saw him discarding empty bottles.
"As he parked, he tossed items in the water that appeared to be cans or bottles," Alan Houser told BreakingAC at the time. "(Jastzembski) immediately ran off of his boat and around the front of the house he parked behind."
Video surveillance from the bar captured the fatal crash.
An investigation led to his arrest in January for aggravated manslaughter.
"He is completely remorseful," his attorney said during his detention hearing shortly after he was jailed.. "This has devastated his life."
Charles Nugent Jr. successfully argued for Jastzembski's release at the time, citing his lack of criminal history and that his client wasn't a flight risk.
He remains free as the criminal case proceeds through the court system.
