Cam,
I'm feeling a little down right now, but I'll respond to this in a day or so. I'm happy to help to the extent that I am able ... to quote you, "it's what I do." Also, I'll respond to Jennifer's post since I too don't understand why he wasn't charged with vehicular manslaughter.

> Snowie - Thank you very much. This will be really helpful. Yes, I was able to get to the site and printed it off. I think that (7) states that pedestrians do have the right-of-way in a crosswalk, but a defense might counter with (8) saying she stepped in front of him. I don't think (8) will apply in this case because she was almost 3/4 the way across when she got hit. Am I allowed to challenge an investigator on his decision not to press any charges? Criminal charges are possibly not warranted, but I think he could be charges under Chapter 316(7). I may being calling you on a professional basis if my Orlando connection falls through (God, sounds like a drug deal).
