That's a good question. I guess they're both good examples that having
the right connections can keep you out of jail even if you kill
somebody.

Apples and oranges. Leaving the scene and not reporting the accident
until the next day would leave you or me in a bigger pickle than running
a stop sign and killing someone. Assuming she wasn't intoxicated and
there was a cover up about that. Pretty safe assumption old Ted was
liquored up. But even if he wasn't, he would face all the charges Laura
should have faced plus a bunch more. It's pretty rare that someone will
recieve a long jail term for running a stop sign in a fatal accident.

And how common is it that someone will run a stop sign and kill someone, and
not even get a traffic ticket?

Do you have facts on this?
