Absolutely true in theory and I accept the outcome, although it bothered me for some time. It didn't meet the standard of proof; however the family successfully obtained a civil judgement later. But there is no doubt in my mind that the guy was guilty of hitting a fallen pedestrian, probably by accident, and driving off. The thing that broke the case was a rhetorically talented defense attorney breaking down a (poor) expert witness who was inexperienced and unprepared. Certain traffic control devices use NTP to set their clock, and the expert wasn't able to articulate responses to the questions competently... so the video was admitted into evidence, but the metadata was not. The loss of the time source placed events depicted on a series of cameras from different sources, all with incorrect clocks, into a 10-minute window (as opposed to a 2 minute window), which broke the case and led to a dismissal. The attorney did a good job by her client, I'd hire her in a second.
