I wonder how this will impact the trail planned to go along the Shepherd Branch in Anacostia. I saw that as a long-shot already, but does this make it more or less likely? A trail there is still a good idea.

Larson's case exemplifies D.C.'s complicated legal system. The U.S. Attorney for D.C. took years to investigate what happened, but opted not to charge anything since they largely look at felonies. It was then bumped to the D.C. Attorney General, but that's only misdemeanors.

A note on this hit and run fatality involving Lisa Martin. It happened just a few hundred feet from where Dr. Yoram Janusz Kaufman was struck and killed in 2008. That crash had no witnesses and cyclists did not believe the driver's story that he swerved in front of the car.
