Yeah, pretty sure that was in the N.Y. Times article. It was like 2:00 AM and the guy who had his car totaled was on his way home from his job after the closing shift at the Olive Garden. Poor guy gets demolished like he was a 140 lb HS freshman WR coming over the middle in front of Matt Elam. Meanwhile 2 or more f$u football players leap out of the car and run for it. They came back half and hour later like.....
The kid stated one of them came up to him and apologized and started saying, "...we just have so much to lose...blah, blah" before one of their friends on the scene told him to shut up and stop talking. Meanwhile, Tally cops just issue the criminole a ticket (and NOT even a "LEAVING THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT" TICKET) and send him on his way. The article I read said their research could find nowhere else where the perpetrator had been treated with such leniency. In fact, there was a case where a guy dinged a car in a friggin' parking lot, went home, called the police and reported himself and got a harsher penalty than the athlete who totaled a car at 2:00 AM and then jumped out of the car and ran for his life.
