This wonderful Man was taken from his Family by someone who neighbors new drove out of his paling driving reverse all the time 4 house from George School on a Friday where kids are present at all times. What justice will the Family get from him being free to be only Given 2 station for taking a wonderful husband Grand father and a Human being. He dragged him until someone stop to tell him he had some one under his car. What anger can his poor far be going threw. Shout this out to the Police Commission.

The guy only got one ticket at the end and was charged $500.00 this is not justice for this man's death it is so heart breaking and it happened in a school zone on a one way street the guy was in a rush and wanted to take a short cut.
just sad for the family of Mr Medina to start off the New Year with no Justice :^(
