The bottom line is the victim in this case doesn't want this to proceed, and I've heard enough to be satisfied that you are on a path in life that has potential. The state has enough cases to prosecute.

I'll have to try this next time I'm before a judge as a defendant.

"Your honor, I do not wish this case to proceed. I'm just getting my life back together."

It doesn't matter if the victim doesn't want to pursue the case, idiot judge.
Historically, she has multiple offenses. Walks.

Hope the judge has a rude awakening soon.

>>the insurance company got stuck with a $1,700 bill for the 30-year-old car she destroyed.

The real victims of this crime. If the owner agreed to compensation for the loss of the vehicle, there should have been no insurance claim.

Democrat judges are a clear and present threat to America and democracy.

This whole situation is obscene, but I wouldn’t worry about the insurance company; they never lose any money. They just pass it on to their customers.

True! If he in effect "declines to press charges" after the verdict, it's out of his hands. If the whole thing was not really a biggie, then he can decline the insurance settlement--can't he?

Insurance company:

"What's that, bro? You still want the insurance payout? Dude! So sorry. Now we have no reason to think you didn't collude with the thief to pick up some cash. Can you prove you didn't?

"Get back to us any time. We're in no hurry."

“Hope the judge has a rude awakening soon.”

Karma needs to hit a million times more often than it does.

Bigger question. What moron carries collision coverage on a $1500 car?

“They just pass it on to their customers.”

What do you expect them to do. This is partially why insurance rates are high in some areas than others. Of course you know who the liberals blame.

There has to be a deductible. This would be comprehensive coverage so sometimes they have lower deductible.

The judge is NOT an idiot. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

Actually, the REAL victims of this crime will be the person or people this low IQ thieving ‘underserved person’ will kill next time she is out driving drunk in a stolen car.

Also... Multnomah county stopped publishing mugshots because it showed that so many violent crimes were committed by the tiny minority of melanated Portlanders and it was easy to identify the antifa goons the DA let off without charges.

The owner of the stolen vehicle, Peter Higginbotham (yes, really), recognized his 1996 Toyota Camry because it had a funny bumper sticker that read: "The book value of my car is one Baja Blast."

There's this guy who was an entertaining wrestler in the 90s and 00s who's real name is Michael Higginbotham:
SeanMichaelsWWE

No one accused him of being a genius, either (but he played his cards right and is worth a few mil).
