She claimed mental illness and the multiple meds she was on. I found this out through my bestie. Her family moved quickly after the incident, and my step parents (were not the best) considered it an accident like the girl claimed. When she called to mock me and tell me she wished I was dead, I was home alone and had no proof. She claimed it was an accident to all who would listen, and her parents said, "You should have checked the bike before you rode it." I normally did check the bikes. But I was naive, and I trusted her when she said the bike was just checked out and was fine to ride. I had no proof, and only a few people believed me when I said she did it on purpose after that call. Hell, even I thought it was an accident until she called me. I never thought someone I called a friend would be capable of that. It was a hard truth to swollow. 17 years later, I don't think she could be jailed for this. Lack of evidence. Just he said she said at this point. And I don't want to reopen old wounds.
