A federal jury in Detroit has been picked in the wrongful death lawsuit arising out of a 2005 incident that destroyed the Weinstein family.  Judith Weinstein was driving to a medical appointment with her two sons, Alex, 12, and Sam, 9.  Alex was in the front seat and Sam was seated in the back.  As Mrs. Weinstein entered a left-turn lane on 12 Mile Road, east of Orchard Lake Road, Thomas Wellinger crashed his SUV into the rear of the Weinstein vehicle at 70 mph, pushing it into oncoming traffic.  Judith Weinstein and Alex Weinstein were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.  Sam was ejected from the vehicle and died a short time later.

Gary Weinstein has filed suit against Livonia-based UGS Inc., the employer of Wellinger at the time.  The lawsuit alleges that UGS Inc. was negligent in allowing Wellinger to leave the office visibly intoxicated.  Wellinger allegedly left his place of employment 45 minutes prior to the crash to see a psychiatrist about his alcoholism.  At the time he crashed into the Weinsteins, Wellinger had a blood-alcohol level of 0.43.

Juliana Karmann, a freshman pre-med student at Denison University in Ohio, was driving home last Friday evening for the Thanksgiving holiday along with three other students.  She never made it home.  Juliana was traveling west on the Ohio 15 when her 2004 Chevrolet SUV hit the rear end of a 2001 Freightliner tractor-trailer.  It was not her fault.  It is being reported that the driver of the Freightliner, a Detroit man, stopped at a stop sign on southbound Township Highway 95 and then tried to cross the westbound lane, without the right of way, and go east on Ohio 15.  Police say Karmann had the right of way.  The Freightliner driver failed to yield.  When Karmann struck the tractor-trailer, she spun out and slid across the eastbound lanes of Ohio 15 where she struck a 2009 Chrysler carrying two passengers.  Juliana was dead at the scene of the crash.  One of her passengers continues to recover from his injuries

The driver of the tractor-trailer was charged with negligent homicide and failure to yield.  He was taken to Wyandot County Jail in Ohio.
