South Dakota AG who fatally struck man with car charged with misdemeanors, no felonies.

I wonder what the charge would have been if he had been a working-class Black man?

2. You'd seek a felony for auto accident?

Like this?

Persuant to §27-113 of the Maryland law, a driver who flees the scene of an accident which resulted in the severe bodily harm of another person can face felony charges. If convicted, the penalty is a fine up to $5,000, no more than 5 years in prison, or both.

6. And This Would Surprise You?

That's how they are able to escape accountability.

This is one of those stories where I would have been AMAZED if he had any consequences for his actions.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was inebriated.
