*shrugs*...you do you.
Most pedestrians aren't suicidal...and I have a low opinion of our police, I think it's quite likely to be a miscarriage of justice.
I mean, think about it, unless the driver has dashcam footage, how do you even prove the pedestrian jumped out in front. And even when the police have footage of a crime, it usually takes days or months to file charges.
