* OffOnATechnicality: Discussed. Sheriff [=MacGraw=] theorises that if the first murder went to court, this would likely happen to Stuntman Mike; he was completely sober, while the four girls were extremely drunk, and even their designated driver was smoking a joint as the car hit them. The murder of [[spoiler: Pam]] likely couldn't even get a reckless endangerment charge, since she was stood up by a date and asked him for the lift. Mike turning on the headlights before impact just makes it look like an unlucky accident.
