D.A. won't file charges in horrific New Year's crash on the 22. WTH?! (Update: Rearrested and charged)

[fan_since79]

D.A. declines to file charges in horrific crash that killed a mother and her 9-year old daughter on the 22 freeway January 1st.

WTH?!

The crash scene went for almost half a mile. At the very least it should be vehicular manslaughter. I don't get it. He was probably doing 100mph when he smashed into several cars.

There should be a civil suit file against that a-hole.

Maybe? Not sure how that would work on something like this.

Im wondering if CHP messed something up? Highly doubt it though. This is their bread and butter.

A BMW hits a Lexus and ends up killing the occupants of a pickup truck and no charges filed? Shocker

And of course, he walked away from the crash with only minor injuries.

There's little justice left in this sick world.

I'm wondering the same thing. Screwed up the BA test? Didn't read him his rights? 

I saw this guy on the news walking away from jail and wondered what kind of moron doesn't have his shirt on on such a cold night. Now I know.

i hope the new DA pursues this. This guy shouldn't be able to get off the hook this easily for murdering two people.

our justice system at work ladies and gentlemen.

Even if they screwed up the BAC, the guy was reportedly driving at an extremely high rate of speed. You can get vehicular manslaughter even without drugs or alcohol.

He smashed right into a car, then when that car spun out of the lane, he smashed into the truck causing it to flip and move across the entire freeway and crash into a guardrail on the shoulder. What was he doing, 100mph or more?!

He gets to walk with no consequences?! Impossible! Something seems terribly wrong here.

Melvin Branch, you sir are a total POS!

Todd Spitzer, you know what to do.   Put Branch away next to that other POS, Andrew Gallo!  And make sure they each have a Shawshank Boggs.

UPDATE: He's been rearrested and charged with vehicular manslaughter and a host of other offenses, and is being held on $300,000 bail.

Good!

Has the Meritage Salon shooter been convicted yet?

Yep, and sentenced to life without parole. Eight consecutive sentences as I recall.
