Quote from the article:
The reaction was swift -- and far-reaching. An embarrassed Public Safety Director Frank Straub announced that the FBI will be brought in on the case. He also removed a lieutenant from his positions as commander of the department's hit-and-run unit and coordinator of the multiagency Fatal Alcohol Crash Team. One victim's family called the dismissal a "travesty." A legal expert said the police ineptness leaves the public with little choice but to wonder whether the bungled case was more than an accident. And Mayor Greg Ballard has become increasingly frustrated as he seeks answers, as well. "The people in the city are not the only ones wondering what happened at the scene," Ballard said. "I am, too." |
