And they let him go because the lazy prosecutors didn't file charges within the three-day deadline.

They weren't too lazy to raise charges. They didn't have enough evidence yet and they want to make sure of the man's guilt before they raise charges. It's not like they missed the opportunity, they can re-arrest him at any time if they can match the debris at the scene to the man's truck. I'm pretty surprised at all this myself. They can and do many times let people rot in jail for months before a preliminary hearing is issued. Not some "10 day window" as News 10 reports.

There is nothing more powerful on this Earth than an anonymous opinion on the Internet.

About Leucadia

Leucadia is a funky little beach community located in North San Diego county in southern California. Leucadia is the north section of the city of Encinitas.

English spiritualists settled the small coastal community of Leucadia in 1870, and are reputed to have danced, in diaphanous white robes in the little Roadside Park (Leucadia Blvd and Hwy 101).

The spiritualists are the reason so many of the streets are named after Greek gods and goddesses. Leucadia is Greek for "a sheltered place." Heritage Eucalyptus trees, planted in the 1880s, still grace the highway. When President Roosevelt passed through Leucadia in an open car during the Depression, local children climbed the Eucalyptus trees to wave to him.

Change happens slowly in this nostalgic little California beach town. In lieu of fast food restaurants and franchise chain stores, Leucadia has two miles of Mom 'n Pop businesses, and that's the way everyone likes it. The town war cry is "Keep Leucadia Funky."

Leucadia played an active role in the rebirth of the classic Highway 101 shield, restored in 1997, and was part of the successful 101 Campaign to have Highway 101 declared an historic route.

Leucadia is experiencing growing pains and culture clash in these first decades of the 21st century...
