“The district attorney has made a fine start in nullifying the Right of Way Law, just as prosecutors and judges have over the decades nullified so many laws enacted to protect crash victims,” said attorney Steve Vaccaro in an email to Streetsblog. “The Right of Way Law requires a driver who kills a pedestrian with the right of way to prove, as an affirmative defense, that he exercised all care that was due under the circumstances. Here, the driver proved nothing, but the DA copped out by gratuitously speculating, for the driver’s benefit, that a juror might find this killing reasonable.”
