Hit and Run Crime: Roxana Sorina Buta

The Issue

The city's negligence, in particular, is shameful when it comes to vehicle-related deaths. As long as a driver says he/she didn't see the person, they are only charged with a misdemeanor, and more often than not released without so much as a fine. Roxana Sorina Buta was killed in a hit and run by a Department of Transportation driver who so far faces no charges. This has to change.
