Operator on trial for faulty limo crash that killed 20

  • Nauman Hussain, operator of Prestige Limousine, is on trial for a crash that killed 20 people in upstate New York.
  • Prosecutors argue that Hussain bears "personal responsibility" for the disaster and that his choices led to the accident.
  • The rented stretch limo had faulty brakes and had not undergone a state safety inspection for as long as two years before the incident.
  • Hussain's lawyer argues that a local repair shop and state Department of Transportation inspectors should be held responsible for the deadly crash.
  • The trial is expected to last five to six weeks.
