Now I need to look up exactly what they posted.
Baz, I've had the same questions you and others had yesterday re: "how will the local sheriff's department find (and what wording will be used) that he was not going to be guilty of a chargeable offense" when it's obvious the vast majority of drivers negotiate that road without losing control of their vehicle?

When the official statement that it was "an accident" was released today, like you I thought it meant a whitewash. What... to discourage more unrest and rioting by the usual suspects? Nah... couldn't be.

But anyway... in encouraging news, shortly after that statement on the evening news, I think the local sheriff said he would be 1) dumping Mr. Woods' phone to see if he was on it at the time of the crash and 2) also checking data on the Genesis' "black box" to find out the speed and exact time he lost control.
