Hit and run murder suspect turns himself in

I am amazed at some of the comments defending Shaun Scott. I don’t think the actions that occured Saturday morning are the actions of a bright young man. He chose his course of action and now Zane is no longer with us. The cops were already on the scene. If Shaun was so “bright”, why did he not let the cops handle the situation. If Zane was causing such a problem, which I find hard to believe knowing him personally, then Shaun should have let the cops handle the situation as oppose to hitting the cop car and especially Zane. It was uncalled for. Any record that Zane or Coby may have had does not justify Zane losing his life. Shaun will pay for his wrong doing. Too many witnesses including the officer that was hit were there and I’m sure will testify what happened that night. I’m furious at ill comments made about Zane, Coby, and they do have another brother which explains why one got a phone call while another was trying to revive his brother. Zane was a great guy. I want to tell my baby cousin Matt to hang in there. We all love you.

ok…so most of the people resonding to this don’t even know the parties involved.  DONT SPECULATE!  Zane was a great person, and who knows Shaun may have been too.  Unfortunately bad things happen to good people.  But what I don’t understand is why people are almost saying it figures or he shouldve done this.  Let me just say that he had no way of knowing that would be his last night on earth or that the actions that conspired that evening would end his life.  But neither did Shaun.  NO matter how scared, drunk, or confused Shaun was if it was truley an honest accident I believe he wouldve stopped.  Would you have? I mean you obviously saw the fact that you struck a man whos injuries most likely ended his life and no remorse!  If he truley felt remorse he wouldve stopped or at least not ran for days!

I have just finished reading your comments about Shaun, Zane & Coby. I don’t know any of these people, nor was I present when this all happened. It seems that Shaun, Zane & Coby all got into a altercation of some sort and Shaun went to his jeep to exit the parking lot, fearing for his own life. Although, there was 3 ways out of the parking lot, Shaun chose to leave on Main Street, No knowing that the Police were on their way, he continued to leave angry, panicked, afraid and maybe a little intoxicated. He has an open Jeep, according to your comments, and he is afraid Zane or Coby will try to pull him out of the Jeep or try to jump into the Jeep, so he speeds up. By speeding up surely Zane and Coby will jump out of his way and he can leave without further altercation. But they don’t move, because they think he will surely stop or maybe they wanted him to hit them. Why were they standing out there anyway? He hits them, then panic’s even more, causing him to hit the police car. Panic and Fear seem to be the downfall of a lot of people and they do stupid things. It is a horrible thing that happened Saturday night to Shaun, Zane & Coby. May God have mercy on all three of them and any one else that was involved.

Actually Austin, The news is right because one brother was called and came back to the scene with his girlfriend who is my best friend and then the other brother was there with him, and for anyone to take this criminal side is wrong. He took a life and ran away, that pretty much sounds like he is guilty. People aren’t always who you think they are. But I do know Zane was one of the nicest guys, and he was willing to help if you needed it. And for someone to take someone elses life, they should rot in jail

I completely agree with T1 as far as the phdry comment is concerned.  Austin, maybe you should look up the definition of murder.  “the killing of another human being under conditions specifically covered in law.“  As for your comment about murder being premeditated….first off, murder still occurs without premeditation (in our legal system that is called 2nd degree MURDER WHICH IS STILL MURDER). Premeditation does not mean that he has to take months to plan to kill someone.  He could have taken other exits that were close to him and he did not.  No, he went to the exits where the very people that he supposedly was running away from was exiting the bar and returning to their vehicles. How could you say that being charged with murder is wrong?  He killed a human being.  He ended the life of someone that touched so many lives. If it were one of your close friends that was the victim, I wonder if you would say the same thing? If it was not murder, tell me what is a word that describes a person that ran over and killed someone with, not just a small car, but a jeep and then drove off instead of stopping, hitting a police officer’s car (while he was still in there) and then abandoning the car?  You say that being beat up by a group of people is bad, which you don’t even know is the truth, how would you describe someone trying to hit 2 people and then ended up actually hitting another person?  Lies???  Did you ever think that bc Zane has two older brothers that one was actually there and one, who was in the other article, was the one that got the phone call????  Bottom line is a young life, a bright light in this world, was taken by someone who people have been describing as not a murder….  Funny, because nobody thought that Ted Bundy, an educated and supposedly a well-mannered guy, was capable of murder..and look what he did.
