Blood drawn from Wright confirmed he had a blood alcohol content of .115%, over the .08% legal drinking limit, and a presence of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid up to 100 times more potent than morphine, in his system, Wang said.
But Wright's attorney William Ware called the alcohol levels a concern but "not the highest reading" and vowed that there will be another story coming as to who drank from the Hennessey bottles, adding "it was not my client."
Morris County Judge Steven Taylor recognized the tragedy of the incident and the seriousness of the charge, but weighed heavily on Wright's lack of criminal history, considerable family support and his continued employment when he agreed to release the 20-year-old on conditions.
