time for Gotti justice

I see Doyle driving all the time. why hasn't he at least lost his license for the DWI? My son lost his the same week he was caught. So I guess while the court and prosecutors sit with their thumbs up their butt this man can still drive and kill someone else. gotta love the court system. shouldn't matter what side of the line the kid was on, doyle was still in the wrong.

Funny how Justice moves slowly for poeple who work for the town, or anyone working a GOV job. If a "normal" person gets caught, the book gets thrown at them.

Third time DUI and still driving. Yes our Justice system is broken.

Come out to town hall meeting tonight and see the Mayor reappoint Prosector Zabarsky tonight. Let the people of Brick speak their minds.

Dan, would that prosecutor also be a member of Gilmore's firm?

It is not what you know but WHO you know. IMHO Mrs. Briffa should ask the state to take over the case. Because as we all know NOTHING will get done in Gilmore County.

It is a shame this family has to go through this. The 17 year old out of Jackson had vehicular homicide charges levied against him less then a month after the accident that killed his team mate.

While I never knew Anthony personally, I do know that the pain of his death has not subsided for his family and close friends. It is a true tragedy of a perfect life lost and it breaks my heart for everyone involved. It is absolutely horrible that Mr. Doyle has had no consequences for his actions up to this point. Stories like this one make you wonder each time you get into a car. It doesn't matter where Anthony was. The article says it all.. there are numerous other charges against him and they should add Vehicular Homicide to the list!

My heart still goes out to Anthony's friends and family! Please help the Briffa's in their fight against the flawed justice system by liking the facebook page and letting your voice be heard!

Why wasn't he arrested at the scene that night...it was his 3rd offense, had an unregistered vehicle...no insurance? Doyle was passing a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction that Anthony was going. He was in a drunken hurry and had no regard who was on the road. If he is still driving around town is the vehicle registered yet?

I don't think the country does enough to stop people from drinking and driving...especially when the sentence is served AFTER people are already killed or hurt...a loss of licence for the ones they catch is not a guarantee they won't do it again....furthermore, townships don't want to eliminate dui offenders because they benefit from the fines collected, which makes me sick...i wish there was a way to mandate breatahalizers in ALL vehicles...yep...mine, my kids, even gramps and grams...everyone who goes to bars or weddings ect. May be inconvienienced...but who gives a crap when there are so many lives lost due to drinking and driving...my son turned 21 in April and I don't THINK....I KNOW him and his friends aren't gonna use their heads all the time because I MYSELF haven't always used my head after a night of seemingly innocent fun....I actually can't believe the allow parking lots at bars...how can they expect drunks to NOT drink and drive if thats all their cars out there....OH how this who thing bugs me because it can be stopped with cars that simply won't work if the driver is drunk....it may take a big effort to pass the law but WELL worth it....prayers (MANY of them) to that family Angela....and if anyone knows how to go about fighting congress...please let me mnow...I WILL BE RIGHT UP FRONT with you!!!!!!!!

ITS GOOD TO BE IN THE BRICK TOWN MOB. HEY MR MAYOR ARE YOU WATCHING THIS BECAUSE WE ARE. THIS IS RIDICULES WHAT ARE THEY DOING ABOUT THIS WE NEED MAD TO GET INVOLVED AND MARCH ON CITY HALL THIS GUY NEED TO BE IN JAIL NOT NEXT WEEK NOT A MONTH FROM NOW HE NEED TO BE LOCKED UP NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO SORRY FOR THE BRIFFA FAMILY YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. STAND UP BRICK-TOWN AND DO SOMETHING NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is not right any other person not associated with the township would be in jail. Doyle has done a lot for the town but this is not fair to Anthony. His life was taken and nothing has been done how do you think he would feel about that? His family is not comfortable in this town knowing Anthony's murderer is still driving around on his 3rd DUI. This town is not right.

Every day I drive past the memorial to Anthony on Jordan Road and it breaks my heart that his family is NOT getting any justice in this matter. It's a concern to all of us that live in the Midstreams/Jordan Road area. Am I to understand that this man that hit him is on his third DUI? Why is he still driving around? Seems the only way to get anything done in this town or county is by threats, political threats. So if you are working on this case, and your job is one where you were voted/hired by the people of Ocean/Brick, I would highly recommend that the justice for this family come to fruition very soon before your next re-election comes up! Why does everything have to be political in this town!

Sometimes it's good to know how the other side thinks - take a look at the link of an attorney who defends against DWI cases. You will note that he tries to dflect blame to a decision to use a skateboard rather than an auto. Warning some of the stuff you will read will make you angry. The lawyer writes, "The boy's mother reportedly told police that her son had gone out that evening to have coffee with some of his friends. Sadly, that parent had repportedly [sic] insisted that the boys travel on their skate boards rather than drive in a car. It's hard to say whether the young man would have survived the crash if he had been riding in a passenger car instead of on his skateboard, however it likely would have mitigated to some extent the seriousness of his injuries." [how heartless is that excuse?!]

If you know Patty,36year, then you know he was always drunk and always behind the wheel...I saw him do it at Craigs,,,get in his car blasted a month before he killed Anthony...nice guy, but a drunk.

It's a shame that once again politics interferes with justice. This man should not be driving and he should be sitting in jail.

It should be taken out of the hands of the county and go to the state. Because D or R Gilmore has final say. What the Boss says goes. We all know this. Maybe the case should be turned to to the SA Fishman.

then contact the prosecutors office and let it be known to them. Stop with the petty politic crap. This is about a young man who was killed way too early and there needs to be justice fior him and his family!

Sometimes these things take time. While we don't know why it does take so long this is not the first instance in which an investigation has taken a while to lead to charges.

Here is a link from Howell in which this accident happened July 30,2010 and charges we handed down January 28,2011...6 months later and I still don't know whether that case has gone to trail or not yet.

So while it doesn't seem fair or right, the wheels of justice must be allowed to proceed at their pace,whether we agree or not, the main thing is to be sure all the I's are dotted and T's crossed so we can be sure all the facts are as clear as possible.

@Jerry Belle: I did a google search on Anthony's name months ago and saw that same website. I clicked the "contact us" link to let the owner know that he or she had incorrect information. My mother works nights and told the boys to take the car because she didn't need it. If the owner wishes to present false information, that's on them.

Glad you set him straight Maria. People should know all the facts before they comment. Anthony wasn't a reckless kid.

Is there a picture of Mr.Doyle? I can't help but wonder what he looks like if he's still driving around town and that side of town too. If he had priors he should have a mugshot anyhelp there brick patch??

hi clamdigger, more than a YEAR has gone by now are the wheels turning in REVERSE or what? This man KILLED Anthony- that fact alone should land him behind bars NEVERMIND the fact that he was intoxicated, made an unsafe lane change and was driving an unregistered vehicle. And he's still driving around town and he gets to sit at home with his family while MEANWHILE the Briffa family has nothing but Anthony's empty bedroom to haunt them every day justice isn't being served. He should have been taken into custody the night he killed Anthony but this town is so politically screwed up. NICE MESSAGE YOU'RE SENDING BRICK TOWNSHIP: DRINKING, DRIVING AND KILLING?! GO RIGHT AHEAD IT'S NO BIGGIE!!!<3 LETS ALL RAISE OUR GLASSES TO THAT!
