I need help in a case going unfairly. A case of the hit and run for my friend is now being seen as a illegal crosswalk situation when the surveillance is too blurred and messed up to tell if it was illegal or not. The victim of the hit and run killing was known to be careful and always walking a crosswalk when its clear.

What is the current status of the case and has any legal action been taken yet?

In Florida, pedestrians have the right of way at crosswalks, but must obey traffic signals.
Broward County is assuming that the victim crossed illegally. But with the surveillance camera footage being so poor and blurry due to it raining that night it is not clear to see. They are using this assumption as evidence to drop the case.
What evidence, apart from the surveillance footage, has been presented in the case?

In Florida, pedestrian laws state:
- Pedestrians must obey traffic signals.
- Pedestrians have the right of way at crosswalks.
Nothing else there were no photos or videos of the hit and run when it happened. The footage is all they have to work off of.
What legal representation does your friend currently have? In Florida, it's crucial to have a lawyer who can challenge the interpretation of the evidence.
The victims father has gone to the law firm Morgan and Morgan and a detective to solve and prove this case as a hit and run killing. Other than that, nothing else.
What actions has the law firm Morgan and Morgan taken so far in this case?
They were unable to get anything as of evidence or clues to the case so they have essentially gone silent and nothing has come up.
What steps has the detective taken in the investigation? In Florida, detectives often play a crucial role in gathering evidence for hit and run cases.
They have done as much as they reslly can. We knoe the car model that committed the hit and run. A black Infiniti Q50 but nothing else has been found. No possible suspects, no locations to look at besides that intersection where it happened.
Have you considered hiring a private investigator to gather more evidence? They can often uncover details that may have been overlooked.
The father of the victim has looked into getting a private investigator. But they are doubtful they will be much help.
Why does the father of the victim doubt the effectiveness of a private investigator?
Because Morgan and Morgan as well as the detective has come up with nothing.
What steps have been taken to identify the owner of the black Infiniti Q50 involved in the hit and run?
Just a general search for that car models that have damaged fronts as many pieces of the front of the car were left on the location of the hit. As of yet no car has been found.
What steps have been taken to enhance the surveillance footage to possibly identify the license plate or other distinguishing features of the vehicle?
No steps have been taking to edit or modify the footage.
Why hasn't any attempt been made to enhance the surveillance footage? This could potentially provide more details about the vehicle involved in the hit and run.
I dont know. Perhaps it is such an old camera that it would be near impossible to enhance it.
Have you considered seeking a digital forensics expert to attempt enhancing the surveillance footage? They specialize in retrieving and enhancing unclear or obscured information.
No how can I find one that would do the job with Broward County making their official statement?
You can find a digital forensics expert through online directories or by contacting local universities that offer forensics programs. They may be able to help despite Broward County's statement.
