Jessica Beauvais Trial after Accused of Killing NYPD Highway Patrol

Oct. 17, 2023: Day one of the trial of Jessica Beauvais began in Queens Criminal Court. The 32 year old mother is accused of killing NYPD Highway Patrol officer Anastasios Tsakos in a horrifying drunk driving crash. Tsakos was killed while placing road cones on the Long Island Expressway around 1:30 am following a fatal accident on April 27, 2021. Officer Tsakos's leg was amputated by the impact. He died of spine and brain damage. Beauvais fled in her heavily damaged car and was apprehended shortly afterwards when Tsakos's partner Eric Cassidy alerted nearby police. The defendant's blood alcohol was over twice the legal limit and she had completed a podcast that night while drinking wine and smoking cannabis. On day one of the trial the body camera footage of Officer Cassidy was played to a hushed emotional courtroom. "He's F-cking dead, he's f-cking dead!!" Cassidy screamed moments after the crash before falling to the ground and sobbing. Tsako's body was thrown 171 feet by the impact. Officer Cassidy is seen outside the courtroom after testifying. NYPD Highway Patrol members gathered outside the courtroom prior to the trial and said they will have officers inside each day of the trial. The defense is claiming the cones and other safety measures were not adequate, implying Ms Beauvais could not see them. Video by (FreedomNewsTV)
