dont worried the courts will dissmiss all charges only thing he has to do is have a family member committ him into a mental ward. this is what happen to me . i was hit by michael routh and he was drunk. he done $5800 worth of damage to my car and plus all the medical and time i was off from my job. his family committ him into a mental ward just a week or two before court and judge widdon done a null and process because he could attend court and what i understand he is out and free. where is the justice in that. know he is free to do it again. and not to mention he didnot have any insurance.
