He turned himself in AFTER THE FACT so it dosent matter. I will say however, that it was a good move on his part for turning himself in (he would have been caught anyways). Him stopping to call the police and wait for them was a MAJOR decision point in his life...he took the other route.

I was not a good friend with Michael but more of an acquaintance. All I can say is this...even if this was an accident he made a MAJOR mistake and that was fleeing the scene. Had he stopped immediatley and called the police this would have been somewhat of a different story. In fact, by him not stopping and running away, definitely points to the fact this was intentional. He deserves (and believe you me) will get punishment. I would be satisfied with at least 25 years in prison. Michael's mother is an attorney and she will most likely do everything in her power to protect her son (which any mother would hopefully do), but I can guarantee the justice system will not let this one get away.
