CARMEL — A man awaiting trial on charges that he killed a Bronx woman while driving drunk in the suburbs is being allowed of jail temporarily after his second child is born.

Judge James T. Rooney in Putnam County approved the order for James M. DeMartino Jr.

His trial on second-degree murder, DWI and other charges starts in June. He has pleaded not guilty.

Police allege that DeMartino was driving at a high rate of speed, crossed the double-yellow line and crashed into another car. The November 2010 crash on Route 22 in Southeast claimed the life of Michelle Mathis, who was riding in the other car.

The Journal News says the judge granted a six-day leave after prosecutors consented to the defense’s request.
