I don't follow your reasoning. How is filing charges against a reckless driver "ignoring ethical guidelines"??? If Ms. Stark is innocent, surely a jury of her peers would conclude so. Unfortunately, we will never know. Jennifer Stark will never have to answer questions like, "How long did it take you to download a ringtone?" "How long were your eyes off the road?" "What distance did your car travel during that time?"
I think Attorney Rietz took the path of least resistance by NOT filing charges.
