Here is what they don't tell you. He waited 51 minutes before he called 911. Scott Wilson was alive after the crash but drowned in the water near the crash site.


At the hospital after the accident, even knowing he had just killed a kid he was smiling for photographers.

Seriously? Then this guy adopts his girlfriend so he can protect his money? They want their son!

Honestly though, this guy will get a slap on the wrist and never think twice about it...makes me sick!
What sort of monster is this guy?????

Saw this on some news site. He will now be having sex with his (legal) daughter which could raise other legal questions. What a weirdo. Didn't know about the killing part though. Still, I guess that might be the lesser of the 2 evils...

According to Florida law, they are not blood related so its legal. Ew! But the main point is how this douche bag is covering his a$$!

I saw that story - disgusting all the way around.

Can't help thinking of the phrase "Who's your Daddy"

Justice is blind-unless you have tons of cash. If you are rich you can just kill whoever you want. No one cares, you are the 1%, the innovators and builders. Kill those peons! No one cares about them anyway.
