Breaking News Arizona Case

Kuwait 2005 has learned from its sources that the American citizen (identified herself as such to police) and Kuwaiti student involved in the Arizona accident have been indicted as following:

• Jeep Driver (American)-
  
• Count 1- Leaving scene of a fatal accident, a class 4 felony
• Count 2- Driving or actual physical control while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs, a class 1 misdemeanor
• Count 3- Extreme driving or actual physical control while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs, a class 1 misdemeanor
• Ford Driver (Kuwaiti)-
• Count 1- Leaving scene of a fatal accident, a class 4 felony
• Count 2- Liquor-unlawful acts, a class 1 misdemeanor
• Both individuals are set to appear for arraignment on October 5th, 2005.
  

Note: Legal sources expressed their surprise at this decision, stating that drinking, driving, and death usually yield manslaughter or second-degree murder charges. Another informed source attributed this decision to the failure of the responsible individuals to prove that the Jeep driver was driving erratically, despite her hitting Todd DeGain, and a telephone pole a short while after that. Again, an interesting decision by all means. Stay tuned.
