Or just the wife of someone who is?

Does that give her immunity? Sounds like she scarpered right out of there with a guilty conscience.

A true trumpette.

The heir to the Wal-Mart fortune also kills people with cars and is not held accountable. Alice Walton loves to drink and drive. During one of her benders, she hit and killed Oleta Harden.

She paid a small fine and was released. Only to be caught again drinking and driving.

Fleeing prosecution is a common practice among filthy rich Americans...they are special. They don't have to answer to the law cause money or something.

Vehicular manslaughter certainly would qualify if that is what is suspected.
