Not Guilty Verdict for Nursing School Student Charged With Leaving the Scene of an Accident With Bodily Injury

Nearly two years ago a woman was walking down a quiet street around 6:30 in the morning. This was a part of her daily routine. On the day of this incident, the woman was struck by a car and run over by both the front driver’s side tires and the back driver’s side tires. The incident was captured by a neighboring ring camera video. The investigating police detective discerned that the vehicle was a particular make and model. He conducted a CJIS query and located what he believed to be the vehicle registered to an address seconds away from the crime scene. The detective went to the home and observed the vehicle in the driveway. He then met with our client, a young nursing student who was working that day. She admitted to driving that car on the route where the woman was injured at the same time as the incident. She was subsequently charged with leaving the scene of an accident with bodily injury in violation of G.L. c. 90 section 24. Attorney Neyman was hired. After two years of investigation and trial preparation the case went to trial. Today, our client was found not guilty of the charge.
