In Sept.'05 I crossed a street in NYC at the corner , with the WALK sign, soberly & lawfully. a 19-yr old girl & her BF, both with revoked licenses,
ran me over as if I was not there. They hit me with super velocity. (50 mph in a 25 mph limit, I believe)
I crossed when light said WALK, & I saw no cars coming either direction. I blacked out and awoke in ICU of hospital, Broken legs,Broken pubic bones, spinal bones, & in the ICU, I had my first ever, MASSIVE heart attack, destroying 2/3 of my heart muscle. NYC district atty. said she can only charge girl with $50 misdemeanor ticket for driving without valid license. DA said since no witnesses, she had no case to make in court that driver was reckless, or at fault in any way. I suffered catastrophic injuries, & now have severe heart failure & edema all over & cannot walk freely anymore. DA claims since no proof driver did it intentionally, was drunk, or jumped red light, that she will NOT charge her w/felony. Give your reactions.
