Driver Indicted
The JHU News-Letter reports that the driver has been indicted. Hopefully this will help bring some comfort to Miriam's family and friends.

From the article:
On Nov. 25 Thomas Meighan, the driver of the vehicle that struck and killed Hopkins junior Miriam Frankl, was indicted by a Baltimore City Grand Jury.
According to a press release by the state attorney's office, Meighan has been charged with automobile manslaughter, four counts of leaving the scene of an accident, one count of failure to render aid, two counts of driving on a suspended license and two counts of driving a vehicle without an interlock device.
Meighan is currently being held without bail in the Baltimore Detention Center and faces a maximum penalty of 35 years in prison... Of the 35-year sentence he faces, 10 of those years are a result of the charge of automobile manslaughter that occurred in October.
These charges came as a result of evidence gathered over the past six weeks following the death of Frankl, as well as from the accounts of many witnesses who offered information after hearing about the tragic events... According to Burns, Meighan will be arraigned in mid-December, but his trial will be sometime early next year.
