Justice For Melissa Sjostrom

Three months ago, a driver in an SUV killed a woman crossing a South Tampa street and fled. Within hours, Tampa police had connected a red paint chip from the scene to a Nissan Murano with front end damage parked in front of a million-dollar Davis Islands home. The paint flake from the crime scene fit
"just like a jigsaw puzzle," an officer wrote in a report..........here

Stogie Has Some Questions
*Two weeks after Sjostorm died, a check for $100,000 was sent to her mother from the company that insured the SUV?
*If there is nothing to hide, why take the fifth?
*Why is the family in therapy?
*Why did the Tampa police detective who investigated the case, Robert D. Powell, failed to appear in court?
Powell listed two crash witnesses in an affidavit he sent to the court 11 days ago. However, no witnesses were subpoenaed to testify at today's hearing, the judge learned in court today. Sending subpoenaes to witnesses in traffic cases is typically the responsibility of the Hillsborough County Clerk of the Circuit Court's office.

:( Melissa was my cousin. I believe tomorrow morning there will be a small interview with my family on Good Morning America.

This travesty of justice was featured in the St Pete Times today. I hope the public will get behind this poor victim and pressure the powers that be to seek proper justice for her.
The whole episode stinks of payola!! Another rich family sheltering a spoilt brat kid
behind a lawyer.
If the customers of these peoples business have any morals they will boycott the place.

I'm siding with Jordan Valdez(the fine piece of ass that hit the old lady). She's smoking hot and should not have to spend the prime of her life in jail because some old lady couldn't live long enough for paramedics to arrive.

What's the point of being rich, young and hittable (if you'll pardon the pun) if you can't get away with murder??? I don't want to live in a country where cold, hard cash won't get you and your kids out of a jam...

I have to agree with this poster. It's not like homeless have souls. It's like running over a squirrel.

Plus that Jordan has some tig bitties.

Hot, young, and stacked beats homeless, old, and busted every time.

Seriously, has anyone seen the rack on that girl? Daaaaayumn. I'd hit her with my Nissan any day of the week. And by Nissan, I mean penis. And by day, I mean second.
