The DWI case has taken many twists and turns: Derrick D. Gilliam, age 35, won an appeal of his homicide conviction last January on the grounds that police took an unwarranted draw of his blood at the hospital after the fatal crash, the outlet said.
Matthew Uhl, age 22, of Little Egg Harbor, was just two weeks away from graduating from Rowan College in New Jersey when he was allegedly struck by Gilliam while walking with friends near Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity in Glassboro on April 12, 2013, according to multiple media reports.
Currently, Gilliam, of Bridgeport, is serving 10 years in federal prison for seven armed robberies one year after the fatal crash.
Gilliam and others were convicted of robbing banks, a CVS pharmacy, a Mobil gas station, and a Residence Inn hotel in Connecticut, according to federal prosecutors. Gilliam was sentenced for those crimes in 2016.
Gilliam was indicted last month on one count of reckless vehicular manslaughter. He is scheduled for a video arraignment from prison on the new Gloucester County grand jury charge this week, NJ.com said.
