How could you have a dead body in your passenger seat and not notice it?

Biggs died two days later still stuck in the windshield.

I remember a story like this from a while back, but I could swear it was a cyclist. Maybe I'm thinking of a different story. I also remember her just driving home to fuck her boyfriend.

 

[Texashiker]

Probably some rich guy that does not have time to deal with poor dead people.

Maybe he was trying to get HOV lane status

I remember when that happened.

 

[MotF Bane]

"A mandatory blood draw was taken and now Onak, 49, is charged with one misdemeanor count of DWI, a felony count of failure to stop and render aid, and felony accident involving injury."

Seriously? The guy was dead. Vehicular manslaughter. Hell, he was drunk. Charge him with murder.

 

[MotF Bane]

I remember when that happened.

I only remember the CSI episode based on it.

 

[Macamus Prime]

The driver should have shot the person who invaded his car. What is this country coming to?!

 

[cronos]

I only remember the CSI episode based on it.

I remember that too.

The twist on that episode was that a suicide note was found in the pocket of the victim, which proved that he purposefully crossed the street when he saw something coming, to end his own life.

If the driver had reported the incident right away instead of intentionally hide the car in his garage to let the man die, he would not be charged at all. But instead he hide the car, and left him bleeding to death.

I remember hearing that she returned to her garage multiple times to apologize to the man who would then beg her to take him to a hospital and even said he would not hold it against her and she still just waited for him to die.

Murder? The "victim" was running back and forth across the freeway at night. Sober or not, the driver still would have hit him. Charge him with leaving the scene of an accident, DWI, etc...

He was probably in shock and panicked. The article doesn't actually mention what his BAC was at the time...

Murder is complicated to prove.

The DA is much more likely to get a conviction of manslaughter then murder.

With murder, I think there has to be intent. All the defense has to do is convince the jury there was no intent to kill the person.

I remember this one... I'm from Dallas and it was all over the news here. She left the guy stuck there in her garage until he died.

There's actually a not-terrible movie based on this case, Stuck. In the interest of political correctness the Mallard character was played by Mena Suvari with cornrows.

 

[HateMeAlways]

I only remember the CSI episode based on it.

I remember a Law & Order based on a similar situation.

You win the thread sir!

 

[her209]

Investigators say the victim, a 32-year-old man, had broken down on the side of the freeway and had been running back and forth across I-45 when he was hit by the black Mazda on the shoulder.

Idiot!
