Girl unresponsive 3 months after crash caused by suspect in Trump assassination attempt

For the first time, we're hearing from the mother of the 6-year-old girl who was seriously hurt in a car crash in Martin County in September.

Now this is interesting. I don't know how they're going to stretch this, because all evidence seems like it's quite a stretch.

TLDR: The 2nd assassination attempt on the orange guy caused the police to shut down roads. A driver was distracted (apparently, she was trying to pick up a water bottle that had fallen beneath her seat) and caused an accident, not expecting the road to be shut down. This accident put a little girl in a (currently) 3 month coma. They're trying to charge the would-be assassin (Routh) with attempted murder of the little girl.

Oh, and the accident happened 35 minutes AFTER Routh was taken into custody.

The minute she admitted to reckless driving, that case was over. What a waste of resources.

Yeah, like I said, I don’t know how they’re going to argue Routh was responsible here. I know there are situations where if someone gets injured or dies while a crime is committed (like say the shock of a bank robbery gives someone a fatal heart attack), the person committing the crime would be held responsible for the death. So I guess the argument would be if Routh hadn’t tried to assassinate Agent Orange, the roads would have never been shut down, thus the accident wouldn’t have occurred, and the girl wouldn’t be in a coma.

But as you said, the other driver admitted she was distracted, and the accident occurred well after Routh was in custody, so it’s a stretch to hold him responsible. If we’re going to allow a Rube Goldberg, chain of responsibility like that, the simple act of running in the park could get you a murder charge. After all, what if you run too close to a tree, that happens to be housing a beehive, and those bees then sting a nearby officer that has a deadly bee allergy?

Dovetailing the earlier conversation, my guess is the girl’s coma is more than the family can afford to treat, and this is their Hail-Mary shot at shifting liability to someone else. This sort of thing happens a lot when liability insurance is in play.

I hope it wasn't Charlotte. Our airport sucks
