Student gets prison time for Halloween accident

Abstract:
Nicholas Zajac was sentenced to six months in prison Monday in Portage County Common Pleas court. The sentence comes seven months after the Halloween accident that left Dana Lim, a 26-year-old Parma resident, in a coma for three weeks after he was pushed into Lincoln Avenue and run over by a tow truck....

Mr. Zajac got off very lucky in my opinion...

I think he should have been charged with attempted murder!! Anyone pushing some one in front of a moving Tow Truck, is plainly trying to "kill" some one! (You just don't "do that" for kicks, your deliberately trying to get some one run over, and what the man had against this person whom he shoved, I guess we will never know).

Its by the Grace of GOD, that his "victim" survived, or, he may very well be facing murder charges and sent up for a very long time... I know, if it was "my Son" who got pushed, I would have wanted this idiot who did it, put away for a very long time, so that he doesn't become a danger to himself and others, as he apparently "is" when ever he is drinking!!

He should also pay restitution to Mr. Dana Lim for all the pain and suffering that he has to go through now, as the result of a stupid decision that Zajac made that night.

I don't care if anyone was making a fool of themselves, or being a real pain, there is utterly NO reason some one should push some one out in front of a moving vehicle, so that they could suffer death, or long time injuries... Nothing is excusable in this instance, no even if they were both under the influence of alcohol, because it simply brought out the hatefulness of Mr. Zajac, and let him "do what he naturally would have wanted to do, and did it".

I wish you well...

To everyone:

I apologize for the ill-informed comments made by my father. I am sure you are all quite familiar with him as his days are filled with commenting on every story written on by the Daily Kent Stater. We are in the process of getting him help. He is an idiot.

What a horrible thing to say about your father; you should be ashamed of yourself. Age would teach you, too, that putting your interests in front of anothers (i.e. pushing someone into the path of a tow truck) is not something to be dismissed, and this guy should have gotten worse for having done so. I don't care what the motivation-- that's just not something you do. I don't care what meathead excuse the guy has-- you don't do that.

I completely agree with Mr. Merino. Zajac obviously attempted to take another man's life, and alcohol is no excuse.

Thank you, Mr. Merino for bringing some reason to these posts; and thank you for your constantly entertaining and well-informed commentary.

That was "not" my Son who posted that second post!

My Son is at home, and doesn't "read" the Kent Stater, and wouldn't even "think" of insulting me as this young man did..(I suspect that he is part of that same "house" that the young man ran into, where they wouldn't give out any information to the Police about the "incident"!

I wish you well...

May I ask why every other word is in quotations? I "think" I know what you are trying to "imply" with using "quotations" around such "words"...I "guess" it is appropriate to quote "everything".

I am merely nothing more than an educated community member but your posts indicate that you, the Jesse Merino, have gathered all of your information merely from the Daily Kent Stater, which is a rather uninformed and unreliable source. You have failed to mention several key facts regarding this issue in any of your so called "educated", or lack thereof, posts. I do recommend that everyone read all the available information on the incident before commenting on one's "informative" and "educated" posts, as is the case here where the posts are lacking of both essential qualities that are necessary for one to deem them as so.

mr merino,

you're still an idiot.

bb - i am truly sorry that you think mr. merino's comments have been "well informed". you obviously haven't been following this story since day one.

Let me help justify a few things on Zajacs' behalf. That asshole that got run over by the tow truck picked a fight and punched Nick first. Nick punched him back, the guy fell off the curb and into the street, and the rest is history. That Lim guy is a total liar.
