The Other DriverSubmitted by CordeetMente on Sat, 03/29/2008 - 1:09pm.
Last night it occured to me that I could do a search through the state courts' database. We did this all the time when I was working with DV last summer. Anyway, I found the guy who they suspect hit me and he had two criminal cases against him. One for second degree assault with a deadly weapon against a girl and another for malicious destruction of property against the same girl. I'm 99% sure from experience that she was his girlfriend at some time. He is young, like 21 or so... On another note, DS turns four tomorrow & I just can't believe it. Tonight is also my law school formal and DH has just come down with a cold...so we'll see what we end up doing, but I was really looking forward to a dressed-up night out with grown-ups... Have a great weekend ladies! CordeetMente's blog | login or register to post comments | email this page | printer friendly version
Happy Birthday to ds and I hope you get to go out! Karma will get this guy...he has a lot hanging over his head. Grats to your boy. And i hope you had a fine night out. that's the plate the witness saw? some shitbag about that age here in NJ caused a woman to roll several times into a median and kept driving. she died. there was video of it, they played it on the news to catch the guy.

Kennedy great better dh! right on for looking this info up. he's already caught, or will be by the end of the weekend. forsure. this man is so young and has fucked up his life completely. not your problem, you're right. get angry, do/feel what you have too. it was your life at stake, this "man" didn't care, not even about his own life. i'm sorry that you have to sit and wait for the report. i've still got this to send you: healing hearts/mind and spirit, happiness in your house, a happy birthday party filled with loved for ds, and rocking the school formal in style! you always make us proud cords! in the face of this shocking and hurtful (and potentially life threatening *i refuse to down play that part, because it's true*), event, you still move forward, heal and shine. this guy is dust, i promise. hearts, slayer of giants, bad things, monster's and other shit! He needs to be caught. I hope you get a night out with your hubby. Happy B-day DS!! I was thinking about this last night and wondering if they arrested the other driver. Sounds like he is a real winner! I said it before and I will say it again.. this guy is an asshole! Happy birthday to yer boy, four is a blast. |
...I've been more focused on the age of this man. He was 18/19 when the assaults occured. I'm not sure why but that makes me somehow more sympathetic towards him. I feel badly that he's just in his early twenties and has already created such a bad place for himself. Not that I condone anything he did to the woman involved with him or his leaving the accident; but I just can't begin to imagine how from the point he is one can make good. Who knows if he was abused as a kid, if he witnessed his mother being beat...I'm fairly certain that having the warrant out is the reason he didn't stop when he hit me...I don't know. There's really no cohesive thought in my head right now but as much as I don't have any tolerance for violence I can't help but question what caused him to accept violence into his life and how unfortunate it is that having done so it has shaped his young life...
