Daniel Campbell, now 20, (pictured right and left) has accumulated a long list of reckless driving offences, one of which occurred just weeks before he ran over and killed Devesh 'Devu' Samtani (inset) on the Old Stone Highway in Amagansett on August 10, 2021. Campbell, a 19-year-old boy, plowed his Honda Pilot straight into math and economics student Samtani, 18, while leaving the scene with nine others. The man from Montauk, who was described as a 'driving threat,' was released in prison but was instead given a community service, according to the victim's parents, which is an appalling miscarriage of justice. Campbell has now been charged with at least two accidents before the deadly night, including in February 2021 when he attempted to drive down a one-way street in White Plains, New York, in the wrong direction. Campbell was slapped with six points in the Bronx just eight days before the deadly crash in June 2021.

Shocking that someone who would gouge prices on life-saving medication for vulnerable people would ALSO flout the law, right?
