Minimum Bond/No Bond Increased Jail Time for Hit and Run Resulting in Death!

Hit and Run, failure to stop and render aid, resulting in death is an automatic 2nd degree felony. If you run over and kill somebody and never stop, you should not have the privilege of the 8th amendment. There needs to be a minimum bond set, $750,000.00 or NO bond if there are previous felonies ! Minimum jail time of 2 years? NO WAY! Maximum is 20 years? The MINIMUM needs to be 40 years. With the fine remaining up to $10,000.00

Our daughter, Josey Lynn Scott,19 years old, was killed by a hit and run driver on Feb. 10, 2015. Like the coward he is, he left her laying there dead, in a ditch, alone. He had a bond reduction hearing on March 12, (this is his third form of a felony) and 2 hours later, he was a free man. We got our indictment on May 18th. He will be tried by jury for 2nd degree felony hit and run, failure to stop and render aid, resulting in death.  WE have a life sentence, why shouldn't he. He has shown NO remorse.

This is not just for Josey Lynn, this is for all the families, past and future, who have suffered and will suffer for their loss. While the one who killed their loved one gets a slap on the wrist. We have to get tough! We have to get this to the right people to get these laws tougher, stricter!
