Who Gave Schwarzenegger A Fat Lip?
Posted by Thomas R. Burke
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's motorcycle crash this past weekend remains in the news. Not unexpectedly, the event has prompted stories and discussion about motorcycle safety, the special certification that is required to drive a motorcycle in California (one that Schwarzenegger admits he didn't have) and even comparisons between Schwarzenegger's sidecar and Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale of "Rocky and Bullwinkle" fame.
But what has the public learned about the woman who sent Schwarzenegger and his eldest son to the hospital? Virtually nothing. That's because after Sunday afternoon's accident, LA Police officials said that the incident was merely an "accident." Because no crime was committed -- and no arrest made -- under existing California law, unless in the investigative report just so happens to mention the name of the driver, the public will not be entitled to learn the name of the woman who nearly took out California's Governor and his eldest son.
