***
THOUGH THE ‘…STRATCOM MEDIA RELEASE’ SPEAKS TO ‘…CONTINUING,’ LOOKS MORE LIKE ‘…CONDUCTING INVESTIGATION: in

***
INVESTIGATIVE LOGIC:
WHICHEVER WAY THE ‘..PEDESTRIAN’ MAY HAVE BEEN WALKING, FROM THIS ‘…STRATCOM’ MEDIA RELEASE, ‘…INVESTIGATIVE LOGIC’ SUGGESTS THESE:
***
(i) ‘…PARKED/STOPPED MOTOR VEHICLE ON LEFT SIDE OF ROADWAY, NECESSITATED THE MOTOR VEHICLE IN MOTION: had
(ii) …VEERED OFF TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID CRASHING INTO THE ‘…REAR/FRONT’ OF PARKED/STOPPED MOTOR VEHICLE:

***
NUMB-SKULLED JURIES: …NO EXCUSES
EVEN AS SOME APPARENT ‘…NUMB-SKULLED JURIES’ MAY RETURN ‘…NOT GUILTY VERDICTS,’ THERE ARE ‘…NO EXCUSES FOR ANY MOTORIST TO SAY:
***
(i) ‘…STREETS HAD NO LIGHTS: or
(ii) …STREETS WERE POORLY LIT: and

Pompey relax. There was a procedural misunderstanding with the last similar case. There should be better instructions given to the jurors
