To criminal defense lawyers specializing in DUI cases, the news came as quite a surprise: Two teenage boys were charged with reckless endangerment last week in Glastonbury for not preventing their 17-year-old friend from driving drunk. Jane Modlesky died in the early morning hours of July 14, 2013, after crashing a 2008 Honda Pilot into a tree.

“These two juveniles knew that she was intoxicated, knew she shouldn’t have been driving and allowed her to drive,” Glastonbury Officer James Kennedy said after the arrests. “There are so many things that could have been done. So many things.”
