Was the biker the police chief's son-in-law, or some rot like that? Did the driver have a few down at the local, but didn't quite blow a 0.08?
Most hit-and-runs don't even result in jail time[1]. But sure, I can believe that hitting and killing the wrong person may once in a blue moon result in the law coming down on you like a ton of bricks.
I read the whole article twice but didn't see anything saying that "Most hit-and-runs don't even result in jail time“.
It basically says that statistics on conviction are unknown, and sometimes people don't see jail time.
And no, the driver wasn't drinking. They were 17 at the time and went to prison instead of college. I remember it because they had a soccer scholarship. I was scared because it could have easily have been me going to prison
