Amagansett Main St. in October and 730 in the evening does not happen to be a wrong place or time to me, and a Good person would have stopped, helped John, called 911, and stayed at the scene, whether they were illegal, drunk,scared, or a felon....... or the very least stepped up to the plate and admitted what they did... almost 4 months in hiding Knowing you killed another human being does not make anyone a GOOD person !!!!!! The only Person that was in wrong place at wrong time was JOHN JUDGE... ...more
