The statement that the degree of injury is a function of the degree of negligent is unsupported.
That the driver stopped shortly after striking the victim and then backed over her a second time was not in the police report doesn't mean it didn't happen. I heard about it from a staff person at nearby Thoreau school.

Tragic, to be sure, but not criminal. But the "degree of injury" is a function of the driver's speed, and, as you describe it (which was NOT in the police report, BTW) his action. IOW, the degree of injuy is a function of the degree of negligence. --------------- Paul T.
