Former Warren officer in crash that killed 2 bound over to stand trial

Former Warren police officer James Burke has been bound over for trial on charges of vehicular homicide-manslaughter and misdemeanors connected to a high-speed crash that killed Cedric Hayden Jr. and DeJuan Pettis. The crash occurred when Burke, driving a patrol vehicle at 115 mph without activated emergency lights or sirens, collided with a Dodge Durango making a left turn. The prosecution highlighted Burke's excessive speed and lack of emergency signals, while the defense argued the victims made an illegal turn.
