Wait until the victims (the driver at least) discover that they are likely to do more jail time than the criminal!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for the driver because anything is possible in California. I honestly don't believe Hawthorne PD will recommend charges, and I doubt that the DA will press the issue. Although, it is possible that enough pressure will be brought to do so because the suspect was "running away" and was no longer a threat. (Not my view, it's the liberal view.)

Here's the bright side though. The driver can make the case that while he intended to stop the suspect, he never intended to kill him, and that the suspect caused his own critical injury because he possessed an "assault weapon." (I know, a pistol is not an A/W, but the media doesn't seem to know that.)
