NEWPORT BEACH — An Orange County judge has denied a request to reduce bail for a man charged with vehicular manslaughter and other counts in the death of a mixed martial arts promoter and founder of the clothing line TapouT.
Attorneys for Jeffrey David Kirby sought to lower his bail from $500,000 to $100,00 on Friday, but the judge refused.
Prosecutors allege Kirby was drunk when his Porsche collided with Charles David Lewis Jr.'s Ferrari Modena on March 11. The Ferrari hit a cement light post and was sliced in half, trapping Lewis in the front half and ejecting his girlfriend.
Kirby is also charged with gross negligence and driving under the influence causing bodily injury. He faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted of all counts.
Thanks to the associated press for the story.
