(AP) A 28-year-old Orange, New Jersey man has until Friday to decide if he will take a deal in a fiery crash that killed a Schuylkill County woman.

Terrell Barclay has to decide if he will admit he was driving drunk when he crashed a car in Bethlehem Township, killing three passengers and permanently disfiguring himself in the ensuing fire. That choice comes with a 15- to 30-year prison sentence.Or he can go to trial and expose himself to even more prison time.He appeared in court with a bandage over one hand and burn wounds visible on his face and the other hand. He asked for permission to be released on bail to continue physical therapy and to receive pain medications, neither of which he claims to have received in the last month-and-a-half in prison."He's in constant pain," said defense attorney Tim Prendergast.Northampton County Judge Michael Koury didn't say whether he would lower Barclay's $250,000 bail, but he didn't appear inclined to do so during Friday's court proceeding.Barclay is reluctant to admit his guilt because he doesn't remember what happened, Prendergast said."I lost a lot of memories, maybe like a month before (the crash)," he said. Prendergast said he showed Barclay a video of the crash.Barclay was the driver at 1:22 a.m. May 6 in the fiery crash that killed three passengers. He allegedly struck three parked cars while speeding in the 1800 block of Willow Park Road.Killed were Amanda Martin, 26, of New Ringgold; Ashlee Mosher, 29, of Easton; and Joshua Edwards, 28, of Easton.Witnesses said Barclay was running around screaming after the crash. Later, he was put in a medically-induced coma at the hospital. He was discharged and claims he turned himself in immediately when he learned police were looking for him.Barclay said he wants to talk to his mother before making up his mind. He said she moved from New York to be closer to him.His trial is scheduled to begin May 1.
