A New Jersey man has been convicted of crashing his pickup truck into a farmers market, killing a woman, while high on chemicals from an aerosol can.
James Woetzel was convicted of charges including aggravated manslaughter on Thursday in the death of 58-year-old Donna Wine in Hawthorne in August 2014.
Defense attorneys had argued that investigators obtained the blood sample without getting Woetzel's consent. But the judge ruled the sample was taken after Woetzel knowingly and voluntarily provided his consent.
The sample showed he was high from diflouroethane, a chemical found in computer cleaner.
He was found not guilty of leaving the scene of an accident because he told police and doctors that he was blacked out and didn't remember anything.
He faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison.
