17th Street NW and Constitution Avenue NW, is near the White House ellipse. Not a smart area to be if avoiding the police.

I will in no way defend the trash driver who killed a pedestrian. Such a person needs to be sent away for 15 years or so.

Only 15 years? I have a friend who was killed. He was in his early 40's and left behind a 9 year old, 7 year old and a pre-school child. Also a wife. 15 years doesn't make up doesn't begin to make up for that loss.
