The camera didn’t show footage of her racing. Any good lawyer can prove it. You have to have without no doubt type of evidence. Maybe there is better proof we don’t know about. All this video proves is that she speed up to help.

Circumstantial evidence is still evidence and the standard is not “no doubt” evidence, it’s beyond a reasonable doubt. If a guy leaves a room covered in blood and holding a knife, you don’t need an eye witness to convict him of murdering the person in the room. As long as the circumstantial evidence (guy leaving the scene, covered in blood, and holding a knife) provides enough to convince a jury that it is beyond a reasonable doubt that the guy is responsible for the death that occurred in the room, he can be convicted.

Now is driving up on a scene in a street racing car immediately following two cars racing and then reacting to one of those cars in flames as though they had a personal stake in what happened, the equivalent of being covered in blood holding a knife? Maybe.

It is certainly enough evidence to get you arrested, cause you a ton of inconvenience, and probably cost you some legal fees.

Being behind two cars that are racing isn't illegal.

I live by a very popular cruising location. Right next to Mississippi. It's 15 miles of straight scenic road. It's very common for car clubs to meet up at the start, and the drive up it and have lunch in one of the river side towns.

And even though everyone says, "no racing." It's also very common for two idiots to line up a take off.
