If you were drinking and hit something, you wouldn’t stop to avoid the possibility that you may have a patrol car cruise by and stop to see what’s going on or even another motorist stop to see what’s up. That opens up too many risks to someone who’s been drinking and might even realize they shouldn’t be on the road. Again, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist juror to put that together. Maybe if he drove into a local restaurant his lawyer could claim booze from the bar accidentally shot down his throat on impact causing him to blow over the limit. Reasonable doubt, right?
My theory: If he indeed didn’t know he hit a person, it was because he was so shitfaced that normal judgement went out the window. You hear stories every week about people driving around so wasted that they don’t know they hit something, despite the fact that half their front end is missing. Driving around missing a tire and asking the cop why they’re being pulled over. It wouldn’t be a stretch to imagine he thought he hit a small animal and didn’t even notice his hood was folded up. Unfortunately only he and a few others will ever know the truth. No matter what, that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t have been found guilty of at least some of the charges and sent to jail.
So the jury says…well maybe he was drunk and because of that he didnt know he hit her or ran from the scene.
If I get wasted and grab a gun and just start firing it at night, and a bullet goes into a house and kills someone, then I walk back home…should I be set free?
Maybe get a DWS charge??
F’ed up IMO
BTW I know someone that goes to him and said they would continue to go to him cuz he is the best in WNY…f that
He had more than one bad review on his Web profile from Buffalo Medical Group, well before the manslaughter.
Did anyone read the paper yesterday with the article from the juror???
edit: found it http://www.buffalonews.com/topics/dr-james-corasanti-trial/article884833.ece
its not to say this article will completely convince you hes not a POS, however the jurors did some pretty good research and its at least a good/interesting read, and if you still hate him then you have more info to do so in an educated manner…
makes me think…oh, i hated him for a year, now it IS possible he could have not seen or heard her…(she was crouched down wearing black)…imagine if it was you and this was all true…your life would be fuuuuuct…maybe mentally is enough and jurors are correct. :shrugs:
cops followed the washerfluid trail from the scene to his house…perfect straight line in middle of road, no swerving. :shrugs:
interesting… still unfortunate.
Soundproofing: so you can’t hear the screams from jews in the oven or kids as you run them over.
Trying to say you can’t hear anything from outside the car… is complete garbage, and a blatant lie.
Maybe he was boomin’ the Skrillex?
“Damn that fuckin DUBWUBWUB…now just look at this goddamn grill. What am I gonna do about this shit, I have an image to uphold!”
I want BMW to donate a 5 series and we’ll get a crash dummy matching the girls weight. Several cameras and audio recorders on board and you know what we must do. That’s the way to show what it felt/sounded like in the cabin that day. No way in fucking hell you don’t feel/hear that impact. I’ll put some money on it.

I have to admit they did a Ben Matlock worthy job at poking holes in everything! I hate to say that and insist he felt/heard the impact but his legal team kicked the shit out of the case.
Sound proofing wouldn’t be legal. You have to be able to hear emergency vehicle sirens. Hence it’s not legal to drive with two headphones in either.
Still an asshole.
Right, so if he doesnt look in his mirrors… Does he get tickets for not moving out of the way for police/fire/rescue vehicles?
What are your mirrors going to do when you launch someone 50 feet in another direction?
Wow… I truly believed that he wasnt at fault for hitting her but even just reading this without the tone or emotion of hearing it from the defense, really makes me to consider the possibility that he really dint understand what he hit. Not saying that I buy it, but it definitely explains how the jury got to where they did.
This is my point - im not saying i totally believe he doesnt suck…but it does make you think
Which gives you reasonable doubt…
Then you just need to watch the defense beat up every thing the prosecution has shown in court pretty well.
If you’re shitfaced and you hit someone or something there is a good chance you won’t notice. From what I’m told anyways…
I read that article and im still not convinced. You think if your hammered and smash someone, or something off the road and take off that your ass wouldnt be trying your hardest to drive in a straight line going exactly the speed limit home to avoid capture and being pulled over?? So the wiper fluid holds no argument with me being in a straight line. and these jurors are complete fucking hick illiterate morons talking about how he seemed like such a nice honest guy.Then the dumb ass women talking about how he wasnt a typical rich doctor and that he worked for everything he had and came from nothing, who gives a fuck that has nothing to do with the fact he hit someone while he was drunk, fled the scene, tampaered with evidence.
Youre a fucking idiot… because you know the guy better than that jury… because you have been privy to more information than they were… because you are of a higher mental capacity all of those fully competent adults right? YOU CLEARLY DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THE AMERICAN FUCKING JUSTICE SYSTEM WORKS DO YOU PEOPLE? Hate on the guy all you want if you are CONVINCED he is the scum of the earth and that he shouldnt have hit that girl who was wearing all black while high skating in the street with traffic yada yada yada… But dont disrespect the people who just did their job as the rules are set.
LOL U MAD BRO?
First off I never said he was scum of the earth.Wait till a scenario happens to someone just like this in your family, then call me a fucking idiot you moron. Bottom line is, he hit and killed someone, fled the scene, went home and fucked with evidence. No matter what the circumstances or legal loopholes there were, getting away with no jailtime is a joke. Did you not even listen to the interview of the “forman” of the jury?? That dude didnt give the girl interviewing him one single fucking straight answer. All he said was " I think its possible, or I think its a possibility" If these dudes were completely competent then why the fuck couldnt he just say yes I believe he didnt see her, or yes I believe he didnt know. Get off your power trip bro, Im not saying he should die or being unfair. Hes human people make mistakes. I just cant stand when people dont own up to what they did and take responsibility. If this dude had no money and was an average working class person like 99% of this forum we would have been nailed to the cross, its just fucked up how money changes everything in legal systems.
