Felony Hit And Run Charges Dropped For Morgan Stanley Wealth Manager Because His Income Capacity Would Be Affected!

There is something terribly wrong when this happens:

A Morgan Stanley wealth manager will not face felony charges for a hit-and-run because Colorado prosecutors don't want him to lose his job.

Martin Joel Erzinger, who manages more than $1 billion in assets for Morgan Stanley in Denver, is being accused only of a misdemeanor for allegedly driving his Mercedes into a cyclist and then fleeing the scene, Colorado's Vail Daily reports. The victim, Dr. Steven Milo, whom Erzinger allegedly hit in July, suffered spinal cord injuries, bleeding from his brain and, according to his lawyer Harold Haddon, "lifetime pain."

But District Attorney Mark Hurlbert says it wouldn't be wise to prosecute Erzinger -- doing so might hurt his source of income.

So, now, apparently, criminal prosecutors will take into consideration whether to charge someone with a felony based on how that charge would affect their ability to earn an income -- but of course, high end income. After all, if it was a black person selling crack cocaine, charging him with a felony would be a no brainer, and whether or not that person's income would be affected would not be a factor.

Only in a corporate controlled society where capitalism is the rule of law, could we see something so sickening as this.

Dudes, the guy hit a man on a bike with his car, and simply fled the scene, leaving him to die for all he knew. How fucking utterly sick is that? I sure hope that the biker sues the man for every fucking penny he has ... I know a few lawyers that could give a shit if someone like that has his earning capacity drained. In fact, I know a few people that would ... well, never mind.
