Got to love her attorney: “What the defendant is being charged for essentially is panic,” she asked the judge to consider when setting bond. “People in moments of panic should not have their whole lives ruined.”
Duh... Panic ends in a short period... It's not PANIC when you hide out till caught days later!
But nice try!
A medical biller accused of driving off in her Mercedes-Benz after fatally striking a 77-year-old man crossing a South Side street hung her head this afternoon as a judge ordered her held on $250,000 bail.
British Cooper, 27, was arrested at her West Pullman home Monday and charged with leaving the scene of an accident that took the life of Arthur Johnson.
Johnson was crossing in the 8300 block of South Racine at about 7 a.m. on July 17 when he was struck by Cooper’s northbound Mercedes, said assistant state’s attorney Heather Kent. He was pronounced dead at 7:56 a.m. at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, the Cook County medical examiner’s office said at the time.
