The lawyer of the 86-year-old Albert Lea man charged with criminal vehicular homicide and drunken driving related to the death of a motorcyclist in May said he plans to challenge the reconstruction of the crash during his client’s next hearing in Freeborn County District Court.

The man, Marvin William Steinhauer, allegedly drove through a stop sign on May 29 at the intersection of Freeborn County roads 46 and 14. Right after doing so, motorcyclist Jose Ignacio Martinez-Navidad, 48, crashed into Steinhauer’s car and later died.

According to court documents, Steinhauer told deputies on the day of the incident that he had just left the Conger bar, after drinking a “couple” of whiskey drinks.

Records state Steinhauer’s blood alcohol content was .08 at the time and that three witnesses interviewed by authorities said they saw Steinhauer drive through the stop sign at the intersection at approximately 55 mph.

Steinhauer’s lawyer said he plans to question the statements his client made at the scene. He is also hiring his own crash reconstruction crew.

The issues will be handled at a contested omnibus hearing Jan. 15.

Steinhauer faces three counts of criminal vehicular homicide, which are felonies, and two counts of drunken driving, which are misdemeanors.

The criminal vehicular homicide charges each carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine, and the drunken driving charges carry a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
