[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah I still can't believe Caitlin Jenner got off for killing that lady by rear-ending her.  [/quote]

In Alexandria a few years ago a dump truck ran over a pedestrian so violently it literally cut her body in half.  The driver kept going, dumped her load of gravel and drove all the way back to PG County to her job headquarters.  She left a trail of blood for several blocks (I saw it) and a woman’s dismembered body in the street (the police couldn’t even identity her for a few days and because she lived alone there were all these announcements by the police to please report anyone missing, it was awful).  BUT because there were no other cars or witnesses at the intersection, no traffic cams or other cameras, and the body was literally so badly damaged the investigators couldn’t tell whether the victim had been on the sidewalk, crossing at the crosswalk or running/walking for exercise in the street, the only testimony the police could count was the dump truck driver who claimed she didn’t know she had hit anything and stuck to that story, no charges were ever filed.

point:  if the tow truck driver denies everything, you didn’t call the police at the time of the accident, and there is no damage to the truck, I think you’re SOL.  [/quote]

That was Deborah Ann Bogart, aged 60, who was killed on September 3, 2015, around 9:20 am, at in the intersection of Braddock Road and Commonwealth Avenue.

It's not true that the police couldn't identify her for a few days. They identified her, notified family, and released her name that day.

It is true that the driver was never charged with anything, but that's not unusual. It's rare for drivers who kill pedestrians to be charged.[/quote]
