Walking in Waterloo Region

That said, they left the scene of the accident. It's up to the courts to prove malice now. It's unlikely that they intentional hit the man - unless there is more to this story that we don't know. Hopefully the crown will try to set an example here, and toss the book at the driver and occupants of the car.

Leaving the scene proves malice, in my book. I agree the Crown should do their best to set an example. Of course the judge has to co-operate; way too many driving sentences are ridiculously light.

I just hate affluenza. If they have money...

And I am hoping this isn't going to be a case in this. So husband out with his wife and his parents, celebrating the parents (the in-laws) 40th anniversary. A husband with a great job, always there for the community, made a horrible, horrible mistake. Wasn't on purpose, but he got real scared. Their kids shouldn't have to suffer from his mistake. Why was the guy walking on the road in the middle of a cold night?

I can just see how this can go sh*tty really quickly for the family and friends of victim. But this type of hit and run, no matter what the victim did, calls for some serious justice. No mercy.
