Brad, a hard-working legal assistant, is tired of catering to the demands of all of the pompous attorneys for whom he works. While driving his car out of the parking garage last week after a long and frustrating day, he was driving too fast and unintentionally cut off another car that was leaving the lot at the same time. In so doing, he caused the car behind him to collide into the car he cut off. The drivers of both cars were seriously injured. The drivers of each car happen to be the most demanding of the attorneys Brad worked for and the two he despised the most. He had often considered ways to “get even” against these two and discussed his hatred for them among his fellow workers. After the collision, Brad saw the drivers of both cards and was well aware of who was driving the two cars involved in the collision he caused, and drove his unharmed car away from the scene with a huge smile on his face. Assume you are the county prosecutor who was handed this case.
1. Based upon the information you have read in this scenario (do not read into the scenario!), could you criminally prosecute Brad for his involvement in this incident? Why or why not?
2. Would you prosecute Brad for involvement in this incident? Why or why not?
