There are two interesting articles posted in the last few days in the Nicaragua Dispatch about a fatal traffic accident in Granada about a year ago. The articles give different details about what happened. Nicaraguan law is not based on English law, it is based on another system called Napoleonic law (did I spell that correctly?). Keep that in mind. The articles are interesting and give insight into the Nica legal system. You need to read both to get a picture of what happened.
