Crikey but that's pretty rough! I'd wager that the 'friend' is no longer on her Christmas card mailing list.
Tell Madison that we're sending good thoughts and aroha her way hoping she recovers quickly.johnboy

I'd concentrate on getting the police and prosecuting attorney interested in pursuing prosecution if that's what you want, before talking to any attorney and starting his clock running. You're dealing with kids who make stupid mistakes and don't have a pot to pee in. The idea of "....somebody paying" doesn't stand much of a chance, if you're thinking dollars. The alleged perpetrator may lose a few years of her life for stupid actions, and that's a high cost. Originally Posted by NTFDAY

Wise words Roger. The only ones that win are the attorneys.

The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
