“None the less, it will be very hard to convict this guy for something he did when he was diminished like this.”
Ok, that covers the initial crash maybe, but that’s it. If he was out of his car, talking, walking around, then he wasn’t having a seizure, anymore at least. He certainly wasn’t having a seizure when he fled the scene.
I know what you mean, and I’m not certain what his mental state was.
One significant indicator for me is that when he pulled away from the first car, he actually hit it again. This clearly wasn’t a guy firing on all cylinders.
I can see a guy with bad intent trying to flee the scene, but if he was coherent, it would seem to me he would have at least avoided the first car, so he wouldn’t hit it again.
Then to hit another car a few moments later... and when the police arrived he was unconscious. I think the guy was having a somewhat extended event, and operating on the subconscious level.
I may be wrong.
