Defense attorneys argued Malone did not realize he had hit a person and later tried to surrender to police.

Outside court, Ivan's family said they believe Malone knew exactly what happened.

"I'm sure that this guy knew what happened and he took off," said Carlos Aguilera, Ivan's older brother. "He should have got off the vehicle and just simply call 911. My brother could have possibly been living."

The judge ordered high-level electronic monitoring if Malone posts bail. He is due back in court Tuesday.
