My son had his arraignment this morning. His attorney pointed out that since their was no one else involved, that the charges of leaving the scene, and not reporting an accident, did not apply to this case. He gave a copy of the state stattue to the judge and to the prosecuting attorney. The Prosecutor spent 10 minutes trying to justify why the charges were valid. The Judge finally said she was reading a lot into the statute that was not there. The Judge then asked "Who was he supposed to report the accident to, himself?" All the people in the court room laughed. The Judge then said "Since the prosecution is not willing to drop the charges, I'm dismissing them. They are not valid. Case Dismissed!"
The Attorney did not bring up any of the other issues, such as the lady falsely reporting that her private property was damaged, (fence belongs to the City Of North Pole). That the fence had already been hit and damaged by someone else. That the Officer exaggerated damage (fasley reported non-existant damage) to the truck.
For the next six weeks, till he leaves North Pole, and Alaska, he is going to drive my old Samuri. I am now driving his bright yellow monster truck.
Next: To have a discussion with the Police Chief and Mayor of North Pole.
