The New Jersey grandfather who killed his two grandchildren in a drunken boat crash had a blood alcohol of twice the legal limit a prosecutor said — as the kids’ dad pleaded for him to be released from jail. Judge Wendel Daniels granted the release of Stephen Schneider, 64, at an Ocean County court hearing Wednesday where it was revealed Schneider allegedly had a BAC of .16 – twice the legal limit of .08. “The defendant consumed enough alcohol to reach a BAC of 0.16 and operate a vessel and the result was catastrophic,” prosecutor Kate Burke said as she asked for Schneider to remain in jail pending trial.
