VERNON, Conn. -- Three 18-year-olds facing charges stemming from a fatal hit-and-run accident on the University of Connecticut campus have made brief court appearances.All three have had their cases continued after appearing in Rockville Superior Court in Vernon on Tuesday. Channel 3 Eyewitness News reporter Len Besthoff reported the standard answer was "no comment."Anthony Alvino, 18, of Long Island, N.Y., is charged with possession of alcohol in the death of Carlee Wines, a 19-year-old UConn student from New Jersey. She was struck on Jan. 20 and died two days later.Police have identified the driver of the Nissan Armada sport utility vehicle as Alvino, who dropped out of St. Bonaventure University in upstate New York after the incident. Alvino is charged with three felonies and four infractions that include misconduct with a motor vehicle resulting in death, evading responsibility, evidence tampering, alcohol possession by a minor and motor vehicle violations.Besthoff reported Alvino was visiting UConn last month to see his girlfriend, Michelle Hall, 18, of Long Island, N.Y., who was a passenger in the SUV. Hall faces five felony charges and three misdemeanor counts that include conspiracy to evade responsibility, aiding and abetting the evasion of responsibility, hindering prosecution and alcohol-related charges.Police said Hall urged Alvino to speed away after hitting Wines. Besthoff reported the judge transferred Alvino and Hall to a court that handles the most serious crimes.Another UConn student, Kara Satalin, is charged with buying liquor for the other two. Campus officials told Eyewitness News that Hall and Satalin remain enrolled at the university, but they could not confirm whether the two are currently taking classes.Their appearances on Tuesday morning lasted just a few minutes. All the cases were continued until March 30.
