[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whomever keeps appearing on these threads trying to convince us that a teen driving late at night and taking U-turns is just as bad as a driver who was driving twice the speed limit while intoxicated and killed someone in the process … you are literally the worst person on all of DCUM, and that’s a hard badge to earn. Quibble all you want about what makes a good prosecutor, but let’s be very clear about what type of conduct is morally reprehensible and what type of conduct is not. [/quote]

I'm not going to go back and read all the posts, but suspect someone just pointed out that contributory negligence can be a (partial) defense in a trial, which is true in Virginia.  I have a hard time imagining anyone would claim the two kids were equally at fault. [/quote]

The U-turn would have been perfectly safe absent a car proceeding at twice the legal speed limit with an intoxicated driver behind the wheel. They can argue contributory negligence, but they’re wrong.[/quote]
