Charges Dismissed...Prosecutors To Appeal
- {West Virginia}...The case against Amanda Pritt has been dismissed. Pritt was arrested last May after police say she crashed into James Dixon while he was riding his motorcycle in Charleston and left him in the street. Dixon was saved by a witness and a man who wrapped his leg in a tourniquet until help arrived, but he had to have his right leg amputated just below the knee. Police say Pritt admitted to hitting Dixon with her van. Charges were dismissed because there had not been a hearing in the last year. Prosecutors say the law isn't being applied correctly in this case, and they plan to appeal the judge's decision.
