'Sorry' Note Left Near Texas Hit-and-Run Victim
Tuesday, March 31, 2009
LEAGUE CITY, Texas — Police in League City, Texas, say a hit-and-run driver in a fatal crash apparently left a note expressing remorse near the victim's body.
An investigator who asked to be identified only as Detective Aldridge said Tuesday that no arrests have been made in the death of 34-year-old Maurice Jones.
The note was scribbled on paper from a spiral notebook. Aldridge says the note may have been written by a woman but he declined to reveal more details.
Jones' body was discovered in a ditch Sunday morning, hours after he got off work at a fast-food restaurant and was walking home.
League City is about 25 miles southeast of Houston.They said they were sorry! And it's the intent that matters, right? Well, whoever killed this man feels very bad, obviously didn't mean to do it, and took time out of their busy day to leave a kind note. Must be a very caring individual.
Too bad for the driver this didn't happen in California or New York, where it's probably a misdemeanor, 10 days community service, followed by government economic assistance and a book deal. :paper
In Texas, they probably have Chuck Norris tracking her down. :gun:
