As far as we know, all evidence is not in, all statements have not been taken, all equipment has not reviewed yet, etc. Also, the mere fact -- that during a caution -- he went higher and faster, opens the door to depraved indifference of human life
investigation by local and state prosecutors, not including the police investigation. Once the prosecutors are looking at something closely.... all bets are off, it can go either way. I was pretty certain that this would absolutely lead to a prosecution (albeit with an unlikely conviction) simply because he's a high profile hot head that ran over someone who died.
Prosecutions are easily politicized, as we've seen in Florida numerous times. And juries a total crap shoot, I've seen plenty make some bizarre decisions.
in other words, the process is in motion and I would not be sleeping well at night if I were TS. Although that will probably continue if he's cleared of criminal negligence.
