...overcrowding of children into the PBH van in the Keylatch accident was a clear violation of existing PBHA policy; it is not something condoned by PBHA. In any event, one child in the front seat of the van with a seat belt on could have struck the driver's arm in the very same manner as the child in the Keylatch accident did, and the bus probably would have still flipped over, overloaded or not. Overcrowding of vehicles is wrong, yet the accident could happen at any time to anyone, transporting others in automobiles...

No money in it.' I went to the best-known attorneys, the highest priced. They said by and large you don't win against the police department. They didn't understand that I knew I could beat them on my own turf, the media. Most people who can communicate, communicate. Those who can't, carry guns. I thought surely at some point sanity would prevail...
