One year after a man was killed on the Thomas Edison bridge, his family is concerned they may never get justice.

Jamal Ebron, a truck driver, was standing outside his disabled vehicle on the Route 9 bridge in Middlesex County when he was struck and killed last year.

According to the police report, the other driver, William Hunter, tried to drive around Ebron’s truck on the shoulder and wound up pinning him between the two vehicles.

Ebron's daughter, Shahyda Thompson, says her father's leg was severed in the crash.

The police report says Hunter was under the influence of marijuana, and that officers found multiple empty packets of pre-rolled marijuana cigarettes in his car, along with empty containers of edibles.

Hunter was charged with death by auto, but Ebron’s family is now worried they will never get justice. They say the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office is offering Hunter pre-trial intervention, meaning he would do no jail time. Court records show the Middlesex County Probation Department recommended against PTI.

"I felt like my dad (doesn't) matter," Thompson says. "He does matter to me and my family, but I felt that it doesn't matter to anyone else."

Hunter’s attorney, Charlie Vargas, says his client came upon Ebron’s tractor-trailer "at the end of a curve" and attempted to use the shoulder because there were cars to his left.

“No credible evidence indicates that Mr. Hunter’s THC levels contributed to the accident." He says he believes “the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office has conducted the investigation fairly, diligently, and appropriately," Vargas says.

Former New Jersey prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni says it’s virtually unheard of for defendants involved in death by auto cases to get PTI.

"It's a really high burden to overcome, and one of those factors, importantly, is the position of the victim and the victim's family members," Gramiccioni says.

Kane In Your Corner asked the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s office why it is offering Hunter a deal. A spokesperson said that because the case is active, he was declining to comment. The MCPO did recently contact Ebron’s family, saying that because of the family’s concerns, it was sending all evidence to the attorney general for review.

Jamal Ebron’s family hopes the prosecutor will reconsider.

"It's not fair," Thompson says. "My dad's not getting justice."
