Hum- now 1st degree murder charges? The plot thickens.

Isn't that standard procedure of some kind if they want to hold someone during the initial investigation?

"Denver police identified the driver who is accused in the shooting as Michael Hancock, 29, and said he was arrested for investigation on first-degree murder charges."

That time of morning, my money is on a drunk fare. Channel 9 said the driver is a youth counselor, college student, works multiple jobs and have kids. Also a CCW permit holder. And the reports on his interaction with a witness and DPD, he knows what to do. Going to follow this incident.

So sounds like pretty much the same. Full time Uber drivers have those same requirements. Part time drivers are supposed to get an endorsement on their personal insurance (which not many carriers provide) or get insurance through Uber. I'm sure it's much like pizza delivery drivers where they are supposed to have insurance, but whether they do or not could be up in the air. Getting into the car with a taxi driver is still getting into the car with a stranger. As we've established thousands of times on this website already, laws don't stop criminals from doing criminal things.

Yup. The fact that he was technically arrested at 8:00 am after declining to speak to police without his lawyer should not automatically be reflective on his guilt or innocence. The big city police are not going to let you immediately walk without overwhelming evidence of self-defense- even then it would be doubtful. More info should come out soon.

The guy who got shot has same first and last name as my former boss. No, he is NOT my former boss.

10 casings found along the freeway. Driver must have been shooting from out side the vehicle. It will be interesting to hear all the facts once they come out.
