41 in a 25 is markedly different from 71 in a 55. Stick with the facts of this case. That’s what the grand jury did. (I don’t know how things work in Maryland, but usually the prosecutor can indict on his own. He probably took it to the grand jury for political cover.)

Dear drb9,

In Maryland, I'm pretty sure that for a felony, one requires a grand jury to indict. For a misdemeanor, a prosecutor can obtain an information from a judge.

Or so my lawyer tells me.

It is not markedly different if someone is killed in an incident which involves driving above the posted speed limit. Ask someone who has had a family member killed whether they think there’s a difference with how much the speed of the vehicle was over the speed limit in terms of the outcome.

I don’t know why people seem to have lost sight of the fact that a person was killed in this case, and that it is not just about speeding.
