I’m glad to hear that, and I mean it, I’m not being sarcastic. And I hope Mr. Dean also has a fair judge, and I also hope that if there is any evidence that can help Mr. Dean, it becomes available to him and his lawyer.
[quote=“HooknSinker”]It probably doesn’t belong on this board, but a map would add a lot to the discussion. Where was the KTV? Where (approx) does Zain live? Where did the person get hit and die? Obviously if the person got hit 1/2 block from Zain’s house, it would be very different than if he got hit 3 blocks from the KTV. Where does the driver say he got out of the car, and where is that relative to the accident?

[I’ve edited my post to try to make it less wordy and confusing.]
I dont know Chinese, but it looks as if this article says that the vehicle traveled from the corner of Songjiang Road and Siping Streets (Mr. Dean’s statement just mentions Songjiang Road) to somewhere on Section 4 of Chunghsiao East Road, and traveled a distance of 5.2 kilometers, before hitting the victim. If the news article is accurate, the route might look something like this.
But I noticed in this TVBS video (originally posted by Northcoast Surfer) that there’s a daytime scene in the video, at about 54 seconds, that shows a red “BEST” (日本BEST電器) sign. At 1:02 to 1:04 Northcoast Surfer’s video, there’s a picture of the wrecked motor scooter lying in the street. To the left of the motor scooter, there’s a large, light gray stone planter with two thin grooves in it and a shrub or small tree growing in it. Behind that planter, you can see another, similar planter. In this street view, you can see two planters of that same kind, in front of Starbucks and the BEST store on Chunghsiao East Road. At 1:01 to 1:02 on Northcoast Surfer’s TVBS YouTube video, you can see two buildings ahead and to the left that look very similar to two buildings ahead and to the left in this street view. So it looks as if the car hit the motor scooter somewhere around that BEST store, maybe more or less in front of Starbucks. Here’s a route view, with point “B” located between Starbucks and the BEST store.
Mr. Dean wrote in his post that the driver dropped him off at the corner of Songren and Xinyi Roads. So the route of the car from the corner of Siping and Songjiang to the corner of Songren and Xinyi might have looked something like this. Then again, that part of the car’s route, along with the car’s entire route, may very well have been different from what I’ve shown here.
Hindsight?
