I believe I specified in the various threads that I felt hit and run should be a felony when a person has been injured A simple fender bender in a parking lot shouldn't qualify. The pet angle is interesting but probably shouldn't be a felony.

Probably true there DC, but then again most of us would have cooperated with police even if we left the scene of the accident. Which reminds me, when they picked up ML's car from his driveway, why didn't they kick down the door and drag him downtown for a bloodtest and questioning ? I thought leaving the scene of an accident, hit and run were felonies ? And if there not, they should be.

If you really didn't know then why would you stop? But whoever was driving Lynch's car exhibited behavior like they knew they hit someone. The eyewitness accounts say the car sped up and then quickly turned down a sidestreet. Like they were trying to be invisible ASAP.

I just chuckled 'Hardy Har Har Har !' when I heard this

Also the court of public opinion can have a bearing on treatment. In Vick's case he is killing and fighting dogs, people love dogs therefore harsh treatment. Traffic accident, no big deal, everyone has a fender bender. Hit a person and leave the scene, most people can't relate to the human injustice or lack of compassion of hitting someone and leaving them without helping. Rape is another crime that rarely gets a pass in the court of opinion. Even when it's a hooker, see the Duke scandal.

Was it Lindsey Lohan or Paris Hilton that literally served 10 minutes in jail and was released for time served ?

25 out of 30. But I'm hungover and have a head ache.

Rule #1, Make sure the saftey is on until ready to fire the weapon.

No, he also needed dentistry with common objects found on a tropical island.

Maybe road flares or a lighted sign of some sort would have helped better. A dude just standing off to the side really doesn't help any.

Gasol may single handedly lost this game for the Lakers. Why is he in the NBA? He can't play defense and can't shoot worth sh--.

The death penalty is too good for this putrid excuse of a human being. I suggest that his eyes be gouged out, tongue cut out, ears punctured, arms and legs cut off and then put out on the street.

Congrats I guess ? It sounds like you get !@#$ed around alot. Where do you work ?

We don't know that? The lawyer did meet and talk with, yes we know that. What we don't know is what they talked about. I'm guessing the lawyer was being flippant saying you have nothing on my client why are you bugging him? etc. etc.,

Oooh, he has this pesky problem called doing his job and enforcing the law. You think the victim might be pressing him for justice ?

Sneaking a bottle into a sporting event or concert is not the same as sneaking a bottle into a bar. For the record, I don't sneak a bottle into anything. I just take my lumps and pay the retail price. I'm getting too old for the embarrassment of being escorted out the place for such a small thing.

Loaded fast. How do I login ? Same login as the TSW?

Nobody is being holier than thou, it is the law to not drink and drive, if you hit someone whether DUI or not, the human thing to do is to stop and help, not take off. If you would take off then you are a spineless less than human creep dirtbag. In anyone's books. Everyone gets bombed from time to time, if you do then take a cab or get a designated driver, it's not that hard.

That should be changed. I would change it to be a felony and 10 year mandatory prison sentence for leaving the scene of an accident when a person has been injured.

This incident really is not a big deal, but he is handling it badly and making it bigger than it needs to be. He should have made a statement and it would have been forgotten by now.

And if I follow your logic, your full of sh-- ! Name your sources or shutup !

Not all lawyer advice is good advice. ML is getting bad advice. I hope they make leaving the scene of an accident where a person has been injured a felony with a mandatory 10 years in prison.

I tried to make the same point earlier and was soundly drubbed for it. Some people agreed with me but I'm amazed at the lack of moral fiber by some people here.

He wouldn't be sitting in jail, it was misdemeanor at best. Now by causing the police to get a grand jury, people may be doing some time. Real smart advice by his lawyer.

A ticket is no big deal. A grand jury investigation is a big deal. If ML gave an explanation this would be over by now. Not all lawyers are good. This one sounds like a real ass, ML needs a new one.
