Posted: 04/09/2009 07:36:45 PM EDT A Riverside man charged with killing a bicyclist in a drunken-driving accident last October could face significant jail time if a plea deal is reached next week, officials said.
Greenwich attorney Philip Russell, who represents the driver charged in the fatal crash, said Thursday that a plea agreement is on the table.
"It's likely that there will be a resolution next week and we're optimistic that we will be able to see eye-to-eye with the state," Russell said in Superior Court in Stamford. Moore's next court date is Wednesday.
Douglas Moore, 24, is charged with manslaughter with a motor vehicle and driving under the influence of alcohol for the Oct. 5, 2008, accident. Officials said his blood alcohol content was .21 percent at the time of the crash, more than double the legal limit of .08 percent.
