Pro golfer Arjun Atwal won't be charged in street race after fatal car
crash
 updated 1:11 p.m. MT, Tues., March. 11, 2008

ORLANDO, Florida (AP) -Pro golfer Arjun Atwal won't be charged in a
street race where the other driver crashed and died.

Prosecutors decided last week not to charge Atwal in the March 2007
death, saying the cars never made contact. Witnesses said Atwal and John
N. Park were driving at nearly 100 mph (160 kph) in a 45-mph (70-kph)
zone when Park failed to negotiate a turn, sending his car airborne into
a tree.

"The two racing vehicles did not come into contact with each other,''
assistant state attorney Robert Eagan wrote last Thursday. "There is no
evidence that either vehicle was driven in a manner causing the other to
brake or evade the other.''

Florida Highway Patrol investigators recommended Atwal be charged with
vehicular homicide.

Atwal could have been charged with participating in a street race. But
the state attorney's office didn't receive a citation from the highway
patrol, prosecutor spokeswoman Danielle Tavernier said on Tuesday.

Atwal and Park, who did not know each other, were driving on a suburban
road connecting the Walt Disney World resorts and upscale communities
west of Orlando.

Atwal won the Malaysian Open on Sunday and finished second in the
Nationwide Tour's Panama Movistar Championship in January. He joined the
U.S. PGA Tour in 2003 as its first Indian-born player, but lost his card
after failing to finish in the top 125.

A perfect example here of why so many people don't respect the
judicial
system.   A many a person has been sent up river for simply being
involved
in a race that resulted in death, with no regard for the circumstances
of
the crash.

Of course. In america, you can buy your way out of any mess. Our first
lady laura bush also committed vehicular homicide and bought her way
out of it.

I always felt that there was a little sympathy involved on letting him
get a free pass on the murder of Kopechne.  Hey, the guy had two
of his bros whacked by assassins in the previous 6 years....with
him bawling on camera after the RFK hit.

So what's the big deal really.   Capitol Hill has probably the highest
% of
criminals outside Leavenworth.

IMO, its the fact that he was a sitting US Senator at the time (and
still is a sitting US Senator for that matter) making the laws that
the rest of us have to obey while flaunting those same laws.
The reason it keeps being dredged up in these newsgroups is that the
SFB who originated this thread keeps dredging up what Laura Welsh did
so many years ago while saying that Kennedy deserves a pass on the
murder he comitted.

Don't forget to include the whitehouse, the vp's residence and the
soooopreme court in that figure.

That's possible though the case against kennedy was weak. With laura (the
rammer) bush it was open and shut.

I've heard that a lot and haven't checked, but I know for sure that
her
hubby Georgie has killed countless thousands of people and lied
his way out of it.   But it's okay of course; Israel and its friends
in
America say so.

It happened long before she met or married married the future governor
bush. As such, its irrelevant AFAIAC.

Laura Bush killed the guy and you're right - that's all that matters.  
Whether she knew bush or not is irrelevant. She should have done 20 years.

What does the statute say?  Is the other driver liable if someone kills
themselves while they are racing?  I would assume there is no statute, based
on the decision.

You don't understand how the law works.  Street racing is a crime and
in this case it led to a death and that means atwal is guilty of
vehicular homicide. You're another idiot who thinks since Atwal wsn't
actually trying to kill anyone, the whole thing is just an
accident!!!  URAMORON

Actually I do understand how the law works.  A crime has to be committed,
before someone is charged.  The statutes define what constitutes a crime.
If there is no statute that states participating in a misdemeanor which
results in a death due to negligence of a second party is a crime, then a
crime was not committed.

Since you consider yourself of such superior intellect perhaps you can cite
the statute that classifies this incident as a crime.  We both know that is
not going to happen.

No Crime???  He was doing 100 mph in a 45 zone.!!!  There's the
underlying crime and  since it led to a death he's guilty of vehicular
homicide.

Hell - this monster wasn't even charged with street racing.  Article says
the citation never showed up!!!  How do you justify that, you criminal
coddler.

You seem to be under the misunderstanding that our local nutjob
actually understands something like that.

You sure it was a bribe and not a threat via a 9-iron?
