Update: The DMV has released a statement. Via Gothamist:
The summonses that were issued by law enforcement to Ahmad Abu-Zayedeha as a result of an accident on October 6, 2013 were for “Failing to Use Due Care” and “Failing to Yield to a Pedestrian.” If a person is found guilty of those violations, the penalty is a fine of up to $150.00 for each violation. Mr. Abu-Zayedeha was found not guilty and those tickets were dismissed on July 1, 2014. No criminal charges were brought by the Queens District Attorney as a result of the accident. However, whenever a fatal accident occurs anywhere in the state, the DMV schedules a special safety hearing. That hearing for Mr. Abu-Zayedeha has been set for January 6. At that time, a determination will be made if Mr. Abu-Zayedeha has any culpability for the accident on October 6 that would result in any action being taken with regard to his driver license based on the Vehicle and Traffic law. DMV is an administrative agency and has no authority with regard to law enforcement or criminal prosecution.
Update: U.S. Representative Grace Meng, of Queens, issued the following statement late this afternoon:
After watching the video of this tragedy, I find the decision to dismiss these tickets very troubling. As the mother of young children, I cannot imagine what the Liaos went through last year, and I cannot imagine what they’re going through now. This accident was a horrible tragedy and the driver must be held accountable. I will write to the State DMV about this matter.
No counterjihad bloggers noted the ethnicity or likely religion of the suspect.
