From what I gathered from the article they were both in the car at the time that the crash happened and both are now playing SGT Schultz, i.e. "I see nothing, I hear nothing, I know nothing." And in his case it's a damned good thing as he'd have been shot as a collaborator.

This is if they do it like we do.
Agreed, that's how I see it. And also correct me if I'm mistaken, but there is also a conspiracy to cover up the original crime as well. No matter how one slices it, this is one
MESSED up case. And for the life of me I do
NOT know how either of them can sleep at night.
I wonder if the cyclist was to arrange for a ride of silence up and down their street once a week if it'd have any effect on them or not?
