Yesterday (May 2, 2017) Christopher Noah was found not guilty of all charges in this case. The overwhelming evidence clearly showed Christopher had no idea he had hit a person. The body was not visible nor was any of the car debris. At the time of the collision (1:25am), Christopher had fallen asleep at the wheel. When his car came to rest, neither the bike or the body were visible as they where both black and under a dark shadow of a tree. It appears to be a bizarre horrific set of circumstances that began before the accident even occurred. Very sad for all involved. Especially for the victim. But the defense clearly showed no reasonable person would have been able to see the body after the accident. And contrary to earlier reports there was no alcohol involved and the body was moved.... But by the police, not by Christopher. So those reports where false.
