So here's a (hopefully) short story:
In February 2000 my son was a front seat passenger in a Jeep Wrangler that was hit head on by an Econoline van that crossed into his lane operated by a drunk driver. We have footage from WSBK in Boston showing his face in the passenger side window during a 45 minute extrication. He was admitted to Beth Israel with a hip fracture and TBI. The driver had multiple fractures, and the 2 back seat passengers had only minor injuries. The detective that did the investigation told all 4 victims that they would "throw the book" at this low life.
Both women in the back seat were lawyers and pulled the jerk's "rap sheet". It was 84 pages long and included among other things 17 possession of heroin with intent to deal convictions, 110 vehicle accidents including 26 hit and runs with some severe injuries, and multiple robberies and batteries. He had never spent a day in jail and actually had a valid Massachusetts driver's license.
They showed the rap sheet to the detective, who immediately recanted and stated there was nothing he could do. Why????? He assumed the low life was a confidential informant for the Feds being protected by them. So much for justice. He's probably still out there. Fortunately everyone made a full recovery
