Guerrero’s father told the New York Daily News Phelan pushed his daughter out of the way “to save her.”

Police are still searching for the driver of the car, an Acura Legend. According to authorities, the vehicle was found several blocks from the scene, and police believe the suspect, a young woman, fled by subway. Police are concentrating their search on Cindy Jasmin, 33, of the Bronx, who is the registered owner of the car.

Bloomberg hired Phelan as one of six coordinators for NYC Civic Corps, an initiative that supplies nonprofit agencies with volunteers and support services. He visited both women at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn Sunday night.

Yesterday morning, he spoke about Phelan, telling reporters, “this young woman is a fighter. She’s got a big heart and though she’s only been living here for a few short months, she’s a New Yorker and everyone in this city is pulling for her to get through this.’’

Her parents, John and Mary Phelan, have been holding vigil at their daughter’s room since arriving in New York hours after the incident.

In Swampscott, her grandfather, John Phelan Sr., said her act of selflessness in trying to protect her friend was not surprising. “That’s how she has always been, looking out for others,’’ he said.

The elder Phelan said his son drove to New York early Sunday immediately after receiving a call from police about what happened. “This has left the whole family grief-stricken,’’ he said. “We’re just waiting and praying.’’

In the summer after her freshman year at Brown, Erinn Phelan worked as an intern with the Massachusetts House of Representatives.

News of Phelan’s condition also sent a wave of grief through Swampscott High School, where she graduated in 2005.

Brian Salzer, the high school principal, said Phelan was close to several teachers, who considered her “more than a student, a friend.’’ Phelan returned to the school often, and her former teachers followed her career.

“She was the one you knew was going to go places, because she had that great academic ability and was very service-minded,’’ he said.

This case came about two weeks after McVey was busted for misdemeanor marijuana possession and later found not guilty after taking the stand in his own defense at trial.

"The jury believed him when he said he didn't do it," Robert Jones, McVey's attorney, told the press. "He's a very honest, forthright person."

Although very honest, according to a report, another conviction could spell years behind bars.

"Right now, the penalty has been enhanced, so I would have to look that up to see what exactly that is, but I anticipate that he is going to trial because he didn't do anything, so the penalty is zero," Jones laughs.

Jones says his client is innocent of this charge. He says authorities found a bottle of pharmaceutical cough syrup in a bottle with someone else's name on the prescription in the back seat of a car in which McVey was riding.

Though set for Monday, Jones anticipates that the trial will be delayed, as he says that the D.A. has reindicted McVey for the same offense.

"They're trying to trump up the charges and make him scared so he'll take something," he says. "It is nothing more than a form of intimidation. It doesn't change the facts of the case at all."

It seems that the legal system is not playing around with rappers these days so we can only hope the best for Z-Ro. I just hope if he beats this case that he would run as far away from the “sizzurp” as possible.
