Re: car accident

It sounds like your friend needs the services of an attorney ASAP. You did not provide enough factual information to say whether a charge of Attempted Murder could be prosecuted. There are many criteria that are changed by changes in the factual situation. Unless you were in teh car with him, you probably can't provide enough information to obtain efective legal advice. Therefore, my advice is for you to advise your friend to consult and hire an attorney as soon as he can, and to give no statements to anyone until he does.

Good Luck, and let me know if I can help.
