The Rich are different from you and I....

[Disco Pickle]

Everyone who presented an opinion without actually reading the article (it's painfully obvious who you are) needs to STFU and read the article.

The entire "logic" about the driver needing to stay free so he can pay for the victim's medical care etc. is spurious. The victim doesn't want him to stay free, he wants him to be convicted of a felony. The victim is a fucking transplant surgeon... no doubt with excellent medical insurance and disability coverage as well as significant assets of his own. The driver's existing assets should be quite sufficient to cover a handsome award in a civil suit if the victim decided to pursue one.

This has nothing to do with protecting the victim, and everything to do with keeping a rich man out of jail simply because he's rich. I would not be surprised if some palms were greased in the making of this decision.

did read it.  and agree with the DA.
