		</div><p>Guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, a former Red Hot Chili Peppers member who has also played with Pearl Jam, has pleaded not guilty through his lawyer to a misdemeanour manslaughter charge over the death of a pedestrian.</p>
<p>Authorities say Klinghoffer, 44, was driving an SUV and making a left turn in Alhambra, California, just east of Los Angeles on March 18 when he hit 47-year-old Israel Sanchez, who was walking on a pedestrian crossing.</p>
<p>Israel Sanchez was later pronounced dead at hospital.</p>
<p>Klinghoffer was charged on August 29th with vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence, a misdemeanour that can bring a maximum of one year in jail and a 1,000 dollar fine.</p>
<p>He is not charged with having any violent intent, only with a failure to yield.</p>
<p>His lawyer, Blair Berk, entered the plea for him in an Alhambra courtroom.</p>
<p>Mr Berk declined to comment after the hearing.</p>
<p>Israel Sanchez’s daughter filed a wrongful death and negligence lawsuit against Klinghoffer in July.</p>
<p>The lawsuit alleges Klinghoffer was driving with no plates and using a phone at the time of the collision, though that is not part of the charges.</p>
<p>Lawyers for Ashley Sanchez had been publicly and vocally critical of police for not bringing charges for months after Israel Sanchez’s death.</p>
<p>Klinghoffer played guitar for the Red Hot Chili Peppers from 2009 to 2019.</p>
<p>He replaced longtime member John Frusciante, who has since returned to the band.</p>
<p>The role led to Klinghoffer’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, making him among the youngest members.</p>
<p>He has since played as a touring and session guitarist for Pearl Jam and Jane’s Addiction, and has played on recordings for dozens of other artists.</p>
