text: Everytime I read stories like this it brings back horrible memories for my family.   Like the Stark family, our lives were shattered 8 years ago when a man hit and ran over my dad in broad daylight.  My dad and mom were walking in a very quiet suburban street at 10 am on a clear day in Jan.  when this man claimed to be blinded by the sun hit my dad.    My dad was in a coma and passed away one week later.   This man was charged but was found not guilty because there was no intent to harm according to the judge.    We also could not bring into evidence telephone records (we believe that he was texting at that time) and the court could not accurately determine the car speed. The judge let him off without a fine or warning!!     In an era where texting and driving are prevalent, we need to change our legal system to reflect today's culture.    How can we let these people off with small or no fines after they have ruined the lives of so many!   My children will never know their grandfather!
