If you are looking for justice in eastern Kentucky and you are not wealthy and you are without political "juice," then you are SOL. Your girlfriend is lucky. She could have been involved in an accident with an under aged son or daughter of a local judge or elected state official.

I am assuming that the other driver was not arrested for driving without a valid drivers license. Am I correct?

Very true Hoot. Unfornuately it doesn't always relate to someones wealth. A lot of times it is one person being "beholding" to another, be it judge, lawyer, or polititian and the inter-mingling that takes place between those sectors.

By the way, since you have been away, have you been aware of Eric C. Conn (Conn vs. con...now isn't that a play on words?) being a subject of an investigation on SSI fraud? I know the WSJ came out with a story and I think the Washington Post did as well.
