Florida Teen's Death Sparks New Legislation


Naomi Pomerance loved music and dance. And judging by the 500 people who turned out for her funeral, the 16-year-old Wellington girl was herself much beloved.

But the teen's death may ultimately lead to the passage of a state law, bearing her name, that will establish limits by which a person can legally be ruled impaired from marijuana.

The scooter's driver, Tyler Cohen, 23, was charged with DUI manslaughter, vehicular homicide, two counts of DUI injury to persons or property, and possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana.
