A very long period of silence, with no printed* news... And then an anemic update got posted in December (right around the same time period that Tampa Bay Academy got splashed 'cross the news for other reasons).

* The video news clip indicates that it was filmed about a week after the accident, yet this accompanying news piece did not get posted 'till 'bout a half year later.

More Evidence Needed In Hit-And-Run Death
Tuesday, December 23, 2008 12:38:40 AM

Local Video News Coverage: Hit-And-Run Update

CLERMONT -- Investigators are still looking for the person responsible for killing a teenager.

Megan Hensley, 14, was killed by a hit-and-run driver May 16, but officials have yet to make an arrest in the case.

Investigators said they have evidence, including the black Nissan Xterra they believe hit the teen, in their possession.

Detectives also recently talked with a woman who claimed to be a passenger in the car when Hensley was killed. But even with all of this information, investigators said they need more evidence before they make a move.

"We're not being fair to Megan if we don't take every step necessary to make sure this person is brought to prosecution and successfully prosecuted. So, yes, we're doing everything we can to make sure we get this right," said Trooper Kim Miller from the Florida Highway Patrol.

Investigators said until then, getting solid evidence against the person responsible is key, though they do hope to find whoever's responsible soon.

It sounds like they will not be able to do anything. They have other crimes to worry about. Authorities should move on. In my opinion, the parents used poor judgment when they let her walk on a poorly lit road at night. They should be held accountable.

They have "other crimes" to worry about? What the hell are you saying? Someone hit her and left her to die!! How is that her parents fault? Hitting her may have been an accident, but leaving the scene was not. The driver of that car should be in jail for a long time!

Ah! Here he is...

Gotta wonder 'bout how many teens he's lit into over the years, holding them "accountable" for their sins. Way to own yer own shit, eh? More than a half year went by, and he never came forward.

Another sour note: law enforcement apparently saw fit to inform the press, without even contacting the mother. She found out about his arrest by seeing it on the News.

Hit-And-Run Suspect Arrested
Wednesday, December 24, 2008 12:50:53 AM

Paul Wright, 43, was arrested Monday for the hit-and-run death of Megan Hensley on May 16.

CLERMONT -- A man has been arrested in the death of a 14-year-old girl.

On May 16, Megan Hensley was killed by a hit-and-run driver.

She was hit by a black 2006 Nissan Xterra while walking along County Road 565A and Battleground Lake Road.

The driver then drove off.

Authorities arrested Paul Wright, 43, of Riverview, Fla., Monday night in Tampa.

News 13 spoke with Hensley's mother Tuesday at the scene of her daughter's death.

Rhonda Conard said Florida Highway Patrol had been keeping her posted of all new developments, and even promised to get in touch with her as soon as an arrest had been made.

Instead, she said she was disappointed she had to watch the news to learn of the arrest she'd been waiting seven months for.

"It's hard waking up every day without her, and going to her room and not being able to wake her up for school. Or having dinner or Christmas with her, Thanksgiving. And that's why I wanted him arrested before Christmas because he doesn't deserve to be at home before Christmas," Conard said.

Wright was charged with leaving the scene of a crash with a death and tampering with evidence. His bail was set at $12,000.

Fornits members would not care if the perpetrator did not work at a program. This, in my opinion, is really sad.

You know what's really sad, Whooter? That you have such an extensive criminal record. It's easy to see how you are desensitized to child victims of all sorts, because you have victimized many children yourself. To you, a sociopath, a child is just an object. Something to buy, sell, gratify your urges with, etc. Please tell the readers how your flippant attitude about a child left to die in the streets dovetails with your own criminal history. And also please explain your FBI number and why you're disallowed from owning firearms. Was it sposual abuse, as you son indicated he believes while he was at HLA? Or was is something evern more sinister involving children? Please, do tell. We are all interested in your explanation.

I don't have a criminal record. What criminal record are you talking about?

I don't see how it matters where the perp. worked. guilt is guilt. But if he WAS someone who worked at a program, someone who was a professional care giver to children, then what does that say? "Remember kids, don't drink and drive".

Ugh. There is no justice.

Check out the accompanying video news clip, and try telling me there isn't something that really reeks of small town corruption here.

Man Sentenced To Probation For Fatal Hit-And-Run
Thursday, April 30, 2009 1:29:50 PM
Reported By Heather Sorentrue

Rhonda Conard, the mother of Megan Hensley and her daughter in the courtroom during sentencing (4/29)

Local Video News Coverage: Probation Not Enough For Family

TAVARES -- It was an emotional day in court for a Lake County family as they heard the driver accused of hitting their daughter and leaving her to die on the side of the road will get off with probation.

News 13 was there when Rhonda Conard, the mother of the Megan Hensley, 14, told the judge the plea deal was not enough to punish the driver.

The crash happened in May 2008. It took officers seven months to track down the driver Paul Wright, 44.

Hensley’s family is livid with the State Attorney's Office and said this case should have gone to trial.

"I'm saddened that the judicial system let me down, let Megan down. Because this is what this is for, for her. And it's like the criminals have more rights than the victims do nowadays," Conard said.

The judge agreed in the courtroom that Wright's punishment is light.

Wright will get seven years of probation and have to wear a GPS bracelet for two of those years.

He also will likely lose his right to drive indefinitely.

The plea deal requires Wright to visit Hensley's gravesite once a year, as well as write apology letters to the family.

Wright could have faced a maximum of 35 years.

News 13 spoke with the prosecutors who said based on the legal facts of the case, they did the best they could.

The guy who left her on the side of the road would not have been convicted of murder 1 and/or murder 2. He would not have been convicted of manslaughter. So, there is not a hell of allot they could do with the driver.

Anonymous · « **Reply #85 on:** November 23, 2009, 12:49:27 AM »

Why not? People are convicted of vechicular manslaughter all the time. Espcially when he ran from the scene, hid from the cops, and tried to cover up evidence. I just don't get this.

I like the bit where he spray painted his car to cover up the damage. Sounds very "innocent" hahahahahahahaaaa.
