An 18 year old girl was killed by a texting drunk driver. He was just acquitted. He is rich.

82. for those interested, quick bullet points on the case

I can't claim to be unbiased, but I will try to give the events surrounding the accident with as little commentary as possible.

The victim was an 18 year old female skateboarding home from work.

Dr Corasanti struck the victim at approximately 11:20 PM going between 45 and 55 miles per hour.

The hit occurred in the bicycle lane.

The victim was tossed 200 feet from the impact. This put 8 inch deep dents in the front of the car and ripped off a side mirror.

The victim died of blunt force trauma resulting in broken ribs, a severed trachea, brain injuries and internal decapitation (the neck is severed but the skin stays intact). An expert testified she died almost instantly.

The doctor drove home. He would then proceed to delete text messages from when he was driving. Evidence was also found that he wiped down the front of his car.

He refused a breathalyzer test and had blood involuntarily drawn 5 hours after the accident. The BAC of the blood was 0.1 putting his BAC at between 0.14 and 0.21 when he hit the victim.
