When the official statement that it was "an accident" was released, 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. |
You guys don't seem to understand, you are not charged with an infraction. You are charged when its a misdemeanor or a felony. Regardless of the cause, a Traffic Accident report is whats being written. Because it was a Traffic Accident...... The initial investigation indicated that he wasn't driving impaired, so there are no immediate criminal charges. That doesn't mean that later he couldn't be issued a citation for something else.
