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.

The needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few...or the one...damn bikers!...hope the benz is ok....
 
Whoa we better raise hell about this.. now bankers can just run lesser people over? What if he hit another banker?
 
f da's ,f the law and ,f the gov this is in our local county total BS and i ask anyone else if this happened? what would happen to you? I think that covers this BS > this tells me why bother following laws. I can use my job to jusify not getting a felony, not to mention this same da caused 2 girls to lose their jobs over a class 3 felony then never charged them over a mtn bike race and exchanging their numbers! icing on the cake is my wife and i were almost hit by an elected official in vail when i was djing and we called the cops and my wife had to wake the drunk passenger up from the wrecked vehicle and then the cop told my wife they didn't need a report from my wife or me! The next day no record of my call or any police reports on the elected official who was drunk and wrecked her car in the parking lot! me and my wife were the ones that woke her up and she reeked of alcohol! I am pretty much saying f the law and the gov!! colorado law enforcement is as corrupt as the dnc/gop!! america is f'ed

HuffPo posted an update on the story:

UPDATE:
District Attorney Mark Hurlbert told HuffPost on Monday afternoon that news reports about the prosecution have been inaccurate. "We charged him with a felony, first of all," he said.

What's happening is that prosecutors offered Erzinger a plea bargain for restitution and two misdemeanors potentially carrying two years of jail time. What the victim wants, Hurlbert said, is for Erzinger to plead guilty to the felony of leaving the scene of accident, causing serious bodily injury. Under that deal, judgment would be deferred and the felony would be cleared from his record after a few years of good behavior. The misdemeanors, though, would stay on Erzinger's record permanently.

"This is the right plea bargain given the facts of the case, the defendant's prior criminal history and his willingness to take responsibility," Hurlbert said. "We feel this is far more punitive than the felony deferred."

Hurlbert did not offer details on the restitution, except to say it would be "significant."

Leaving the scene of a severely injured person is responsible?

Responsibility = PAYOFF $$$

Prison is for Peasants!

Remember the part in "A Tale of Two Cities" when the noble runs over a peasant with his carriage? Yeah, it's like that.
 
Like George Carlin said - there's a big club and you and I aren't in it. There is a ruling elite who are immune the consequences of their actions, who can't lose no matter what they do. This is the moral hazard by which this country operates for the ruling class - they are exempted from responsibility for their mistakes. Those who are most directly responsible for the economic meltdown were rewarded for their mistakes will billions of taxpayer dollars. There is certain class of people in this country who can not lose no matter what they do and are protected through their connectedness to those who operate the levers of power.
 
The DA needs to be sent to prison for a very long time. He can be cell mates with the banker.
 
How is this any different than Cheney shooting a hunting partner in the face and taking a day to, I assume sober up, before it was reported? Oh Cheney didn't even get a slap on the wrist, so I guess it was different.
 
To be honest reparation is better then punishment. However yes the two different set of laws is fucked up.
