That's what my husband and I said! I hope he gets charged with that. I hope he gets years behind bars.

It's a lovely town. So charming, wonderful little restaurants. Just beautiful.

I know that sometimes a person will be held on a lesser charge until the case for more serious charges can be developed, so I hope that's what is happening here.

I'd guess that means more serious charges are forthcoming.
Hard to believe they routinely hold reckless drivers with no bond.
Might be trying to decide what degree of attempted murder applies.

I assume this is just the initial charge, pending an investigation into the intent of the driver.

My in-laws are buried in Culpeper. Thats pretty much the last place that Id expect something like that to happen, although I guess every place it does happen says the same thing.
