Recently I went to trial on a case where my client was charge with Careless driving which led to the fatality of two passengers in her car. The Judge found my client guilty when there was NO evidence that my client did anything careless that led to this “accident”.
The purpose of this post is to make the point that sometimes, I believe, certain factors affect certain judges when they make their rulings. I honestly believe that when there are two people dead as a result of an accident, certain Judges want to find someone at fault. Some Judges can put the fatalities to the side and be truly impartial and consider only the facts proven. Others cannot.
Sometimes there really are “accidents”. Not all accidents must lead to someone being charged with a traffic violation. Even a Florida Highway Patrol Officer once told me that he didn’t want to charge my client with a violation but someone died so he had to. This is a bad policy decision. Not every accident has a party at fault.
This leads me back to my initial gripe that my client was found guilty even though there was no evidence that this was anything other than an accident. The Judicial System let my client down.
