FALSLY ACCUSED

[HIT&RUN]

OVER THE WEEKEND THE NEIGHBORS REPORTED THEIR CAR HAD BEEN HIT. THE FACT IS THE OFFICES THAT QUESTIONED US BELIEVE WE DID IT AND SEEM TO BE SIDING WITH THE NEIGHBORS. THEY ARE SAYING IT WAS A HIT AND RUN. (LESS THEN 300 DOLLARS DAMAGE). BUT THE FACT IS THE NEIGHBORS ARE NOT TELLING THE TRUTH. THEY SAY THEY SAW OUR CAR HIT IT. IF THEIR CAR WAS HIT IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE CAR IN QUESTION AS THIS CAR IS NOT WHITE AND WAS NOT AT OUR PLACE AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. THE POLICE DID NOT ARREST ANYONE AND GAVE NO TICKETS OUT. SHOULD WE EXPECT A SUMMONS TO COURT FOR THIS SUPPOSED HIT AND RUN INCIDENT?

If you have any proof that the suspect car was out of town at the time of the accident, get it together. A parking ticket in another town would be best, but you might just get affidavits from people who saw the suspect car elsewhere. Get the statements soon, before memories fade. Ask your attorney if & when you should submit your proof to the DA's office - DAs don't like to go through trials they can't win (now, after charges, or at trial). You can probably even get the attorney to answer your question in the "free consultation."
