His critique is sound about cuffing her in front. I doubt too many hit and run criminals are cuffed to a chair as they stand there waiting for booking. My guess is that they did not expect or consider her a risk for flight.
Her decision to try and escape proved them wrong and ended up costing her horribly. But the fault for that, IMHO, lies at her feet, not his.
My guess is that they did not expect or consider her a risk for flight.After two hit and runs, plus being a fugitive from justice, they didn't consider her a risk for flight?
