Thomas P. Senavitis, 46, of Towamensing Township, might have even been more intoxicated when his pickup truck was involved in a collision with a car driven by Senator James Rhoades than the 0.355 percent BAC level measured at St. Luke's Hospital in Bethlehem.

That's what a forensic pathologist testified Thursday during the second day of Senavitis' trial, being held in the Monroe County Courthouse.Also during the trial, the extent of the injuries to Senator Rhoades was detailed. Despite having 17 broken ribs, a separated break on the spine, a broken sternum, a broken leg, and severe internal bleeding, he lived for 14 hours.Senavitis is facing numerous charges, including vehicular homicide, two counts of DUI, recklessly endangering another person, and failure to keep right.His trial continues today and could possibly be handed to the jury this afternoon for a verdict.The charges stem from a head-on collision that Senavitis had with the senator on Oct. 17, 2008 on Route 209 in Monroe County.The prosecution wrapped up its case in the trial Thursday morning. The defense then began calling witnesses through the rest of the day.This morning, an independent accident reconstruction specialist is expected to speak on behalf of Senavitis.Prosecutor Colleen Mancuso, an assistant district attorney, had four witnesses on the stand yesterday morning to give testimony before turning the case over to attorney Wieslaw T. Niemocyznski of the public defender's office.
