Miriam Yarimi Pleads Guilty in Ocean Parkway Crash, Faces 3 to 9 Years

The judge set a reduced term despite prosecutors seeking a 5- to 15-year sentence.

Overview

  • Yarimi entered a manslaughter plea last month and is set to be sentenced Wednesday under a deal offering a 3- to 9-year range.
  • Brooklyn prosecutors say they will press the court in a letter for a stiffer punishment after originally asking for 5 to 15 years.
  • Investigators cite the car’s black box showing roughly 68 mph with the accelerator floored and no braking before impact.
  • Authorities say Yarimi drove on a suspended license and her Audi had amassed more than $10,000 in fines and numerous speeding and red-light violations, according to online records.
  • The March 29 collision killed Natasha Saada, 35, and daughters Diana, 8, and Deborah, 5, and critically injured her 4-year-old son, who reports indicate later recovered.
