Paul Burkert, the 36-year-old man who killed 23-year-old David Padro, Jr., of Camden, outside the popular tourist destination in 2021, was sentenced on Wednesday.
Frick, who pleaded guilty to simple assault and related charges for her role in the incident, was sentenced to serve two years of probation.
In court, members of Padro's family painted him as a loving son and brother, who had hoped to one day become a police officer. In a victim impact statement, Padro's stepbrother, Reynaldo Gonzalez, told the court that he lost a piece of himself when Padro died. "The last thing he said to me was, 'I love you bro… if I see you or not, you're always going to be my brother'," Gonzalez remembered."He wasn't just a brother. He was my best friend."
In court, Burkert took a moment to tell the gathered members of the victim's family that he regretted his actions that day.Along with the prison sentence, Burkert was ordered to pay the victim's family more than $6,000 in restitution.When contacted to talk about this case and any security measures taken since, representatives of Pat's King of Steaks had no comment.
