Why was this child out so late on Bradyville Pike? Let's check out why no adult was keeping an eye on this little girl.

The child being unsupervised is a valid concern, however, it does not validate the actions of city police and county sheriff departments.
Not having a breathalyzer with the accident team negligent at best. Not collecting potential evidence is criminal.
The way this investigation was handled has shaken the trust of the public - it further verifies that the "good ole boys" are above any law. Apparently sitting at street corners catching violaters of turn lanes have done nothing to enhance the intelligence of those involved.

First this was not an infant.This child was 12 years old.It was not midnight.It was still before the CITY'S curfew.She wasn't out running wild she was crossing the street to go HOME.How many of you walk around holding your 12 year old's hand?A block is not too far for a child to walk.Everyone wants to blame the little girl and her family because"they know how dangerous that road is"What about the sloppy cop?He should know better than anyone to pay ATTENTION.Regardless of his blood test what was he doing with liqour in his car period while he's working?What reasoning did this heartless coward use when he chose to cover himself before checking on a CHILD he hit.And then Truman puts him back on the streets??Way to go Mr.Jones.Let's quit blaming the innocent and demand something finally be done about our corrupt police.At any given time I would wager there are a number of cover ups going on in RCSO.The only difference is this one couldn't be hidden.

The blame goes to the detective, police, and sheriff's department. Such shoddy investigative procedures. Even Mayor Bragg says he will give them the benefit of the doubt. Just another case of everybody helping their friends. They knew the detective was drinking but gave him time to get it out of his system before the test. No bottles collected. Threatening witnesses. I don't trust any of them and an independent investigation is needed.
