Well I still stand by everything I have said about him. I've only know him as a customer and for a few months, but I would still consider him a friend.
Certainly as more information comes to light, it is clear he was not a good decision maker to begin with driving the car unregistered and with no insurance, but I would think that was just another reason behind him leaving the scene. We won't know for sure until they actually get statements from them or until it goes to court...
I also think that all of his actions that followed were out of self preservation as regardless if he knew he killed the guy right away, it was reported on the news the next day so he certainly would have known and at that point should definitely have turned himself in and not attempted to cover it up.
Call me an ***, but personally if it were me, knowing I was probably facing no less then 10+ years to life behind bars, you could call me Juan 'cause I would have been halfway to South America~ Either that or the ~easy~ way out....

Wow, man sorry it's just a bad deal all around. Just a lot of bad choices all around. I doubt you'd make the same one's. Starting with driving drunk..if that was the case, or no registration or no insurance etc..

I assume the bumper was off for the repair on the fender cause it didn't sound like the damage was to bad from what the paper said. But looks like they had already done a bit of work on it for sure...

An individual's true character is revealed when they're faced with real moral dilemmas, real hardships and real issues. Until then, it's easy to present an illusion of decency, honor, integrity, etc. Someone who makes negative moral decisions like this draws from their moral foundation and integrity. If they had any to begin with, they'd have done the right thing. Run, and you prove to people what you really are and always have been.

Definitive post, +1 I'm sure most of us feel this way, BUT, a word of warning - Nice guys finish last - Own up to your mistakes, but keep your mouth shut, let a Lawyer do the talking for you. Nothing you tell L.E. will get you a Medal, most of it will get you time in the big house. Don't lie, but don't volunteer. I've only had speed issues with L.E., but being forth'right should be saved for Scout meetings.
Dont incrimnate yourself. Its less about right and wrong when you enter the court system. God forgives and i hear prison sucks.
