HARTFORD — A judge is set to hear arguments on whether to prohibit the public release of a surveillance video that shows a University of Connecticut student getting run over and killed by a campus fire department vehicle.
The Hartford Courant and other news organizations have requested the release of the video, which shows the October accident that killed 19-year-old sophomore Jeffny Pally, of West Hartford.
Pally’s parents are asking a judge to bar release of the recording, saying it would cause them anguish. They’re suing UConn.
A Hartford Superior Court judge has scheduled a hearing Monday.
Authorities say Pally fell asleep in front of the fire department after drinking alcohol. A department SUV accidentally ran over her while responding to what turned out to be a false alarm.
FOX 61 is a proud sponsor of UConn athletics.
