TIL Alice Walton (Walmart heir) killed a pedestrian in a driving accident and was never charged. She has also been arrested for DUI twice but never charged.

en.wikipedia.org Alice Walton - Wikipedia

The sketchy part is not her not getting convicted. It's that no charges were even filed. I also enjoyed this bit of info from one of the sources regarding the other DUI incident. Prosecutors in Texas have dropped a 2011 drunken driving citation against Wal-Mart Stores Inc. heiress Alice Walton.

To be fair, I doubt most people who commit vehicular crimes in Texas get charged.
- It's not like it was an abortion or anything......
  
  That’s part of it, but vehicular crimes specifically are often overlooked, many people aren’t concerned by high numbers of road fatalities, and often resort to victim blaming, as if it’s just a cost of living.
  
  Interesting insights about motor vehicles coming from someone on "dmv.social"
  
  Hahahaha, that's DC, Maryland, Virginia. Not Department of Motor Vehicles. I guess Maryland doesn't have DMVs, but it fools local Virginians from time to time too, don't feel bad
  
  This is a highlight interaction in the Lemmy comments for me so far.

- One of the few crimes in Texas you cannot be arrested for is suspected ovi and open container.
