Regan Hit-and-Run Case Continued to March 12

New Canaan resident Kate Regan, who who was charged in Nov. 2010 in a hit-and-run case after the death of a town resident, made her 21st appearance at Superior Court in Norwalk, according to the New Canaan Advertiser.

 

New Canaan resident Kate Regan, who was charged in Nov. 2010 in a hit-and-run case after the death of a town resident, made a brief appearance at state Superior Court in Norwalk Tuesday morning where her case was continued until March 12, according to the New Canaan Advertiser.

Tuesday's appearance was Regan's 21st since being charged with negligent homicide and leaving the scene of an accident, the Advertiser also states.

Regan allegedly drove away after hitting 82-year-old Krishna S. Jayaraman of New Canaan with her vehicle. Jayaraman was standing at a mailbox on Oenoke Ridge Road near the Pound Ridge border when a car struck him, according to police. In November, Regan turned herself in to police after they applied for a warrant for her arrest.

Jayaraman's family later filed a civil suit against Regan seeking damages.

Brilliant commentary. Jerk.

How is she getting away with this? How many more excuses will her lawyers have before this thing can go to trial and she can get the punishment she deserves?
feo mesics February 5, 2013 at 11:07 pm
When are all of you going to wise up ... she is never going to do any hard time ... her high priced lawyers will get her off the hook and she will keep driving around New Canaan just like she has been for the past 2 years.
Glen K Dunbar February 5, 2013 at 11:08 pm
I am sorry for the poor victim and his Family. But, how about a bit of compassion for this poor Girl who will live w/this forever. The courts should not keep her on a string like this. I feel very bad for her

It has been over a year since the Savage accident and there haven't been any charges filed at all.

Sorry, you are all fools and have been taken for a ride. Search Regan and check how many patch articles have been written on this accident. This story is like the iphone for apple. It's the patch's pride and joy. Today's article reports she walked into court and walked out. WOW, earth shattering I know but guess what.....it starts the whole conversation up again. You know what, it's more interesting on it's 100th time then "closet shelves fell at the nature center." They will claim it's good journalism to be thorough but this is on par with Jerry Springer and you know it and so do I. Anonymous blogging about our neighbors is pathetic and this web site is just a forum for cowards. I promise you that the patch on a story like this starts the fire with one inflammatory line and then sits back and watches the carnage. Don't believe me, look how this thread started.

What purpose would it provide to the community to take a mother away from her kids over an accident?
Evan Hutter February 6, 2013 at 01:39 pm
This woman made a brief appearance in court and nothing happened. How is this worth writing an article? Whats the purpose, just to stir the pot?
Patrick Henry February 6, 2013 at 03:00 pm
Jane, your point about Patch giving the people what they want to read/discuss is well-taken. But is that NOT the job of the media? How is this similar to Jerry Springer? Why are we "fools"? People have been asking on other threads for quite some time about the updates on this case. You criticize Patch for printing this, so can you say the same about the Advertiser? They published this yesterday on their site:
http://www.ncadvertiser.com/18622/for-21st-time-oenoke-ridge-hit-and-run-case-continued/ While I don't condone calling Mrs. Regan (or any woman) a "broad", I have no problem with people discussing this online. Many residents want to know when and how this case gets resolved, and I'm certain that more will be inquiring around March 12th as to its status. And as far as "carnage" goes...I think that is a poor choice of words to describe an online discussion given the details of this tragic event.
Evil Squirrel February 6, 2013 at 05:16 pm
Amen.

The first bit of rational thought I've read in comments on this story.
Michael February 6, 2013 at 07:32 pm
Patrick, are u serious? I can think of many reasons why this specific type of Patch journalism is flawed and unethical. The story was reported with an incredibly biased slant from the get go. Then it was followed by several opinion pieces on the matter to drive home the point. Several patch writers have also been active in the chat rooms posting their opinions along the way. What type of credible news organization operates in this way? Could u imagine if Brian Williams reported the news and then Lester Holt said I don't know anything about this story but here is what I think. Is that fair? The fact of the matter is......This isn't news.
The advertiser for example makes people register. To see their posts on the story you have to log in. When the story rolls off the top page that's it, on to the next. It doesn't continue to advertise it's blogs like the patch does on it's home page. It's not a bulletin board for anyone who wants to anonymously rant. You are trying to make the connection of an intellectual conversation and a blog/chat room. I think you are smart enough to know that they are miles apart. Btw, the word carnage was referring to the arguments that ensue after a specific story is written or post was made. Specifically when you watch the name calling start and insults fly. The Patch is the Promoter and the Ref in the fight. If you don't realize it....you are indeed a FOOL.
J.James February 12, 2013 at 04:51 pm
It wouldn't provide any purpose to the community. However, to the people who lost a husband/father/grandfather/uncle etc. because this particular New Canaanite plowed him over in her car, took off, and stopped at a body shop in Pound Ridge in a feeble attempt to repair the damage before anyone could trace that man's death back to her, I imagine it would serve quite a purpose indeed.
Patrick Henry February 12, 2013 at 05:29 pm
Michael, I am completely serious. Please show me where the reporting on this site differs from that of any other news organization covering the same case. Where is the bias? How is writing editorials to drive home a point any different from what is done across any form of media...credible and otherwise? The Advertiser allows comments, just like Patch. I recall substantial discussion over this and other news on the Advertiser site, and I also recall reading editorials online and in the print version.
I do agree that Patch has been guilty of overcoverage (donkey vs. dogs was done to death) but how much of their blogs are "advertised", I won't pretend to know as I'm unsure of what that means. I do question whether your issue is with the format and not with the content itself? Do you feel there should be tighter restrictions on what people can post, anonymously and not? That sounds a bit like censorship. And perhaps I am overly idealistic to hope that this can be discussed without name-calling. After all, you called me a "fool", so my optimism is probably unrealistic.
Skillz February 16, 2013 at 06:57 pm
This shows how flawed our court system is. It will probably take 3 years+ before a plea agreement is made or this goes to trial. What purpose would it provide to the community to take a mother away from her kids over an accident? Come on, "Nancy". The woman killed a man and tried to cover it up. It would show all of us that your actions (or lack thereof) have consequences. Let daddy take care of the kids while mommy pays for her crimes. It isn't rocked science.

Why is it the panel for this event does not include a single advocate for gun-owners' rights? WithRead More all due respect to Chief McNamara, why does the panel no include a person who can speak to gun safety from a gun-owning civilian's perspective? ML, you claim that the assembled folks "do not offer judgements about gun ownership" but they are not including a single voice that can offer perspective on gun ownership. I have been to "education" sessions sponsored by Meg's March for Change and they are one-sided indoctrinations into gun control advocacy. >>>> I was in Hartford for the public hearings in January when both Meg and March co-founder Nancy gave their personal testimonies and they all but threatened the legislators on the panel with election day retribution for all those who did not tow the gun-control line of thinking (i.e. March and CAGV). To suggest that Meg "does not offer judgements" if fallacious at best, disingenuous at worst.

Unknown to most parents, children’s data is being shared beyond the school district with sixRead More agencies inside the Utah Data Alliance and UTREX, according to Utah Technology Director John Brandt. The student data is further being “mashed” with federal databases, according to federal Education Dept. Chief of Staff Joanne Weiss: http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/inside-school-research/2012/07/ed_urges_states_to_make_data_s.html While John Brandt assures us that only a handful of people in Utah have access to the personally identifiable data of children, recent alterations to federal FERPA (Famly Education Rights Privacy Act) regulations which were made by the U.S. Dept of Education, have radically redefined terms and widened the window of groups who can access private data without parental consent. For more on that, see the lawsuit against the U.S. Dept of Education on the subject: http://epic.org/apa/ferpa/default.html But first, an interjection: I want to introduce this article: http://seattleducation2010.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/your-students-privacy/ I like this article because it exposes the facts plainly, that parents are unaware that their children’s information is being shared without parental permission, beyond the school, beyond the district, and even beyond the state. It is verifiable and true. What it means: Courses taken, grades earned, every demographic piece of information, including family names and income, is being watched by the U.S. government via schools. Verify for yourself: The U.S. Dept. of Education’s own explanation is here, showing why SLDS systems exist: http://www2.ed.gov/programs/slds/factsheet.html
