Weird, the SA states they identified the woman who did but did not release the name. Why renew the incident without new info of identification?
Because it’s the S-A?
Fairly often you can see a notation that a certain article has been ‘updated’ but when you go to read the article, it is identical to the non-updated one from a day or two before.
Kind of like when I read the same sports story for 3 straight days or more.
Looks like the driver won the argument.
Gravity. It can be a real biatch.
