Vehicular Homicide update

So, the Judge dismissed my Vehicular Homicide case this morning for want of prosecution. The State claimed that they couldn't find their eyewitness. I think that they were looking for a way for the case to go away, because I think it wasn't so much a case of "couldn't find their eyewitness" and "didn't want to find their eyewitness." The case was a dog, as evidenced by the fact that they offered a plea to reckless driving.

(The State was alleging that she was speeding. A pedestrian walked out in front of my lady, and she hit him. An eyewitness claimed that she was going 60 mph in a 40 mph zone. However, the science pretty well established that she was going 40 mph.)

I am very happy for my client, although I would have mightily liked to try the case. She has some closure now, although I'm not sure that that is much solace for her. It will take a very long time for her to come to some sort of peace with this tragic accident. She arrived a little late to Court, after the Judge had already dismissed the case. When she was told the case was dismissed, she broke down in the courtroom. I hope she is doing well.
