The second driver in a 2007 car race and crash that killed a young Mililani woman pleaded guilty today to leaving the scene of a fatal accident and second-degree assault.

Under a plea agreement reached with prosecutors, Bernard DeCoito Jr. will be sentenced to 18 months in prison and five years of probation.
The other driver, Justin Amorin, 24, was convicted in a jury trial last year of negligent homicide and assault and is now serving a 10-year prison sentence.
The two were racing on residential streets in Mililani at speeds in excess of 100 mph when Amorin�s vehicle smashed into a tree, killing passenger Gillian Badua, 17, and permanently disabling another passenger, Gavin Watson.
Deputy Prosecutor Sean Sanada said DeCoito �did admit that they were driving erratically, he did admit that there was not a chase, that they were just doing foolish things and that�s why this happened.
�He did not directly cause the collision per se, but he did leave the scene, he did leave his friends there to die,� Sanada said.
If DeCoito �misbehaves on probation, he will be subject to an open term of imprisonment of 10 years, said Sanada.
