Before the cops arrived, the guy who hit her hopped out of his car and went over to some bystanders who had witnessed the accident. He offered each bystander $20 to tell the cops a lie concerning how the accident happened. Since the wreck occurred in a seedy part of town, the bystanders took him up on the offer. When the cops arrived they listened to the lies and then wrote the VICTIM a ticket. Unfortunately, she accepted it and when I met her she was paying the price (literally).
She was a senior citizen and obviously the guy who hit her saw an opportunity to take advantage of her.....

Interesting....we handled a case exactly like this for a firm in Miami. Our job was to find a witness two years after the fact, with nothing but a cell phone and his name (which we discovered was misspelled). Of course, the cell number was a trac fone that was disconnected.
Same scenario however....at-fault driver paid two people to lie to the officer when he arrived on scene.
