How do i make a person that was uninsured and without license , on drugs and killed my husband go to prison ?
5 months ago my husband was killed when A 23 yr old kid turned left in front of him. He was tested for drugs and found to be on something , but police here will not do anything to prosacute him , he has since ran over a old woman walking in a parking lot and left her for dead, he got a slap on the wrist , before he killed my husband he had a wreck the month before too , police here are currupt. I have tried the DA , no help , tried TBI no help , called FBI , not interested in it at all, he was a good man, a vetran, he deserves justice , please help me take this guy off the streets . I was married to him for 25 yrs and I think this kid needs to understand what his actions cost me and our friends and family,
Answers:
Whoa. He killed your husband, and the prosecutor did not charge him at all? That's crazy. Was your husband at fault in the accident at all? That could have been a factor.
If everything is exactly as you describe, then I believe your answer is to involve the media. Go to your favorite local television station, and speak personally to one of the news persons. Ask them to investigate. Do the same thing with the local paper, as well as whatever is the big paper in your region. Take evidence that you can show these media people.
You should consider starting a website, too. Something like "Justice for [Husband's Name]."
One caution: be 100% sure that you tell the truth at all times because, if you make anything up, you could be sued for defamation.
Second caution: if this person is violent at all, be sure to have an alarm system installed or do whatever you need to do to protect yourself and your family.
Find a lawyer interested in a big, fat civil suit against the cops and the courts that let the kid go. Your husband had a right to be protected and the cops & court clearly failed to do that.
keep climbing= US. dept of justice
I think a fat civil suit would make them sit up and pay attention. Look into wrongful death attorneys in your area, I'm sure you can find one who will take the case, and he or she might even work on a contingency. Call your local Bar association.
i know this is gonna sound weird put contact some talk shows...montel would be a good one or the maury povich show...if you get the story out there then people will have to pay attention.did you try contacting the Governor of you state? get the veterans involved as well...knowledge is power hun...the more that know about this the less it can be swept under the table...my heart goes out to you and your family
Write to your local press/Radio/TV journalists.
There must be someone interested in your story.
Since he turned left in front of your husband,
he can only be charged with driving offenses.
OMG, I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss!! I think you should contact the media (newspaper, TV, etc). Especially if the police are corrupt. This way you can get community support and local/national attention. With a spotlight on the case, there's less of a chance for the perpetrator to get off with just a "scolding". Good luck and God bless!
Hire a lawyer and sue the police dept the state ect. I would also contact your state congress man and let them know what is going on in your town. dont let it stop with the death of your husban. make sure who ever was envolved pay for letting this kid out on the street to do as he pleases. just because you contacted these people once doesnt mean you should stop at that write a letter to them every week call them once a week maybe then they will finaly get it through there heads that you wont take no for an answer.
You should probably start by contacting the news channels in your area, if they aren't interested try the national news. Or newspapers. Either way anything to gain publicity about corruption and the injustice gets people interested , i'm sure lawyers will come knocking.
seems the attorney general in your state should be interested. hes high enough up, he cant ignore, because theres always the newspapers, and re-election...
Just keep your fingers walking there is some lawyer wanting to make a claim forhimor herself the will take your case NO PROBLEM. Sorry to what happen though just keep trying good luck.
