Q: Lady ran a stop sign that was obstructed by a tree limb, on an unfamiliar road, struck another car killing both passenge
Both passengers the stop sign running lady hit were pronounced on the scene. Is there enough for a jury to charge and convict the lady running the stop sign
A: An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm very sorry for this terrible accident. This is something that an Oklahoma criminal defense attorney could advise meaningfully on. Bringing charges is generally up to a county district attorney's office. There are not a lot of details to go on here - the defendant vehicle's speed, speed limit, weather, road conditions, light conditions, involvement of distractions (phone, etc.), involvement of impairment if any, degree to which sign was obstructed, the manner in which other vehicle was being operated, and many other factors. You could repost and add "Criminal Law" as a category. Again, I believe ANY attorney would require additional details, but you would have better chances of meaningful input from criminal defense attorneys under that heading. Good luck
