I am so glad that this has to come to an end. Now, that the family can ease their mind and dont have to worry about this young man hurting anybody else. For someone who served in the navy for his country NO how the HELl it feel to a lose a love.........

[Wanting to know]

Why did this happen? What were the circumstances that this young Navy man signed up to serve his country felt he had to flee the scene of a hit and run? Was he in fear for himself or someone in the car? Sorry for the loss of your loved one, just inquirying why does this happen so often?

Gooneygoogoo Maybe you might want to review the story, she wasn't a "child" but a teenager in High school, a lot of teens don't listen to their parents and are outside at all hours. She want's someone you'd miss running over or hitting. Hopefully the Commonwealth Aty will have the witnesses and the Def. Aty will have some more answers to WHY you hit and run. Was he in fear? Were they defending something that happened? Answers will come out to why a year has gone by and finally the driver is being charged. Or is he the driver? Hopefully a "jury selection" will sort it out for us.

What's wrong with an 80 year old woman with the name Onika? Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's crazy, try looking it up...

The jury determines guilt or innocence.
It delivers a verdict. This guy is not innocent if the police have waited a year to charge him. It may be a grand jury or a magistrate but one or the other was satisfied with the probable cause.

What's discusting is that the black community is ready to support this suspect as someone who may have made a small errorin judgement by running over this girl and leaving her for dead.

I suspect if it was a "redneck" in a pick-up that things would be very different. It seems that all the black community can do is parrot other blacks who speak from emotion and not fact.

When you consider they don't watch local news and focus on black entertainment news, you get the idea.
