Would Have Walked If Don White Was On the Case

It turns out that some people who leave their children in the car are prosecuted, and the children don't even have to die. If this guy would have left his child in the car in Clermont County, Ohio, Prosecutor Don White would have just chalked it up to a terrible accident and let him walk. Especially if he were represented by White's boss, Scott Croswell. Here is the story from Fox News:
PATRICK, Nev. — An Oregon rugby player remains in jail Tuesday after being arrested on charges he left his 2-year-old daughter in a vehicle in the parking lot of a Nevada brothel on a 95-degree day.

Lucien Hoffman, of Bend, Ore., is being held in the Storey County Detention Center in lieu of $40,000 bail on charges of child neglect.

Police arrested Hoffman early Sunday night at the World Famous Mustang Ranch brothel in Sparks, Nev., after a security guard found the child crying inside the car, according to Storey County Sheriff's Det./Sgt. Kenneth Quirk.

"It was 95 degrees out at that time of day, and you have to figure another 30 degrees on top of that inside a vehicle even with the windows down," Quirk said.


But, of course, the Rugby player wasn't:
A) driving a Mercedes SUV
B)a resident of Symmes township
C) defended by a commissioner who is the boss of the county prosecutor;

So this guy faces charges and a woman who left her CHILD TO DIE walks free.

Fascinating, isn't it?

And, tell me, how were those donuts?
