***... leaving him out there to die was, but in my heart I can understand panic....***

I can understand panic, too. But there was a live human being in extreme agony, and that would have MADE me call for help for him. There's just no question in my mind that this female was more concerned about her own self-important interest than in the agony the victim was experiencing.

If she had not been found guilty, it would have been a signal to all hit and run drivers that they can get away with it.

"But there was a live human being in extreme agony, and that would have MADE me call for help for him."

I think the point you just made is why so many of us are just appalled at her reaction. For you and me and most of us (thankfully), the panic would have led us to call 911 as quickly as possible, and render whatever assistance we could until the ambulance arrived. What she did is simply beyond understanding. It's an alien concept that I honestly cannot grasp--not acting to save someone's life, when it was so very possible it could be saved.
