Rich Vail fund manager hits cyclist, leaves him for dead, (http://www.treehugger.com/files/2010/11/rich-vail-fund-manager-gets-off.php) and the DA doesn't want to pursue felony charges because it would damage his marketability.

And he deserves a tax break, too? The DA's the JOTD. The fund manager is JOTY.

The DA has released a statement on this:

The problem is the DA didn't have to accept a plea bargain. He could have tried the felony charges and easily won, given the overwhelming evidence he had. Instead, he took the easy way out and accepted the weak plea bargain. Justice was not done. The DA is simply attempting to justify his poor decision.

Weasel, weasel, weasel.

He's writing nonsense.

Apparently it was about restitution before despite the fact that it wasn't the victim's priority.

Now it's not.

And forget the permanent record nonsense that won't hurt him as much as the felony would right now.

As a colleague pointed out financial institutions don't like felons so while it could disappear from his record eventually it would cause significantly more short-term damage.

serious bodily injury, are you kidding me, this is sad :(

Why do so many people feel more for the perpetrator than the victim?

Incredible that the guy gets a break because a Felony H&R conviction might cost him his job.

How many of US would still have our jobs if we pulled a stunt like that?

As usual, America is the land of the Golden Rule.
