1. ““On the day in question I was going to church with my girl friend and missed the (services at the church we intended to attend and were on our way to another church, proceeding by way of Ocean Avenue and when near Avenue N I observed for the first time that the traffic light on Avenue N was red and I immediately applied my brakes to bring the car to rest. Notwithstanding the strong application of the brakes I passed the intersection and struck the Greenfield car. The skid marks showed I tried to stop about 20 feet before the intersection and that I went beyond the intersection. I was talking to my girl friend while driving and did not see the light until I was near Avenue N. “When my friend testified on the trial in the County Court that she had seen the red light from the block below, I was advised by my attorney and the Judge to plead guilty to a violation of Section 1053-a of the Penal Law of the State of New York.””
