I'm disgusted...

[berencam]

So you all know the legal battles I've been fighting with this drunk driver stuff. Well, I get a call from the prosecuting attorney, and she informs me that they have determined that David Argo(The drunkard that hit me) is now too incapable of daily living to stand trial for 2 deg assault, attempted manslaughter with a deadly weapon (his car) and a whole slew of other charges. She went on to tell me that they are dropping all charges and ending the case. I was and still am speechless.
Now to back up a bit before i go on. I met in person with this guy back in January ( 2 weeks after he got out of the hospital). The only reason i decided to contact him was a friend of a friend several times over knew him and told him (David) that i found his $600 cell phone in the wreckage. Well David asked for it back down the line of friends. Now i wasn’t about to give someone i didn’t know a $600 cell phone in the hopes that i would make it back to the rightful owner, so i told him that if he wanted it i would bring it to him. I arranged a time to meet up with him and i handed the cell to him, and he OPOLIGIESED. He said he doesn’t remember much of the accident but he did remember drinking, and he had all of the previous memory. Furthermore, he was walking, and using his computer( he added me on myspace).
Now to have this prosecuting attorney tell me he is incapable of standing trial leaves me utterly disgusted at the judicial system. Not only am i going to be stuck with the majority of the hospital bills, but now i have no chance of getting restitution of any kind. And he walks away scott free.
I guess this has nothing to do with 67-72 trucks but I feel its appropriate to this forum as this is the forum I posted my accident on. Sorry for the rant.
