That makes sense to me, though. A famous person gets in a fender-bender, and people start getting all sorts of ideas about suing for extra injuries, making a press spectacle out of it, etc. It's a civil crime, and a tiny one at that, it's not like she was going to take jail time for him.
Also, failing to report an accident in itself is a crime? Like when the other driver and I just exchange insurance information and go along our way, that's not good enough? |

If the damage is estimated to be above a certain amount, you are supposed to report it. And last I saw, that amount was so low, that most accidents exceed it by far. Something like $400.
YMMV |

He's always been a beady-eyed fake. Referring to my last post in this thread, I wouldn't date Lance, either. Come on! Show me the money so I don't have to work? Not that he would ever date me even if I wanted...
Though I do think there are opportunists, I think a lesser opportunistic action is to get upset about a hit and run than, say, cheating and lying and faking your entire life. |

Sure, if it turns out it really was a hit-and-run then that's different. And I wouldn't take the blame for Lance specifically, I'm only saying I'd take the hit for the person I love if HE were famous.

Yeah, it doesn't sound like they were trying to avoid responsibility, just headlines.

But the real point is they were both lying.
We already know the character of Lance Armstrong. But she was willing to take the blame for something she did not do. That's what qualifies her for membership in the S.B.S club |

If that's the point, so what? Nobody was harmed, nobody was cheated except maybe the tabloids. I can see why she would try to protect the family, her children, herself, knowing they would take financial responsibility to fix the damage.
I can readily believe she/they didn't know about the must report to police law. That's an unusual law, most police departments aren't interested unless somebody is hurt, they're blocking traffic, or there's damage to a donut shop.

Not to sound like a vigilante or anything but doesn't George Zimmerman, himself, constitute provocation?

That was my thought.
