From your link PT:

“According to a report from WSB in Atlanta, the criminal complaint includes witness statements that describe what happened: Jahangard was walked down a driveway and stood near the bottom where garbage cans were located. Schmitt drove by and “as he passes the driveway, he hits his brake.” He pulls back up and “remains stationary for 25 seconds. Two cars pass him on the wrong side of the road and he quickly makes a left and starts to accelerate. You can’t see impact. Victim Hamid (Jahangard) is slammed to the ground, head bounces twice off pavement and his body is rotating.”

“A neighbor who said she was a nurse, “told police that she didn’t see the crash but became very concerned when she saw the driver attempting to pull the victim’s body out from underneath his car. She told him to stop and waited for paramedics to arrive” and said, Schmitt “was lying and that he did not knock him down. He ran over him.”

The rest of this guy”s life just went into the trash heap.

Experts Weigh in on Case of Atlanta In-House Lawyer Charged With Murder
Video footage, the defendant's conduct after the incident, and his character and reputation before it and several other issues are likely to be key in the case against Bryan Schmitt.

September 11, 2019

"In a day and age when cameras are ubiquitous, the fate of an Atlanta-area in-house attorney could very well depend on video footage from the unlikeliest of places: a heating and air-conditioning vehicle.

In fact, Georgia alleges the video evidence in the case against Bryan Schmitt of Sandy Springs is so compelling that it warrants charges of murder, felony murder and aggravated assault in connection with the death last month of local real estate investor Hamid Jahangard. Schmitt, 48, associate corporate counsel and director of contracts at supply chain and technology company Manhattan Associates, was released on $500,000 bond after an emotional hearing before a courtroom packed with friends and family members of both the victim and defendant last week....

The Daily Report asked Petrey and several other criminal defense lawyers, some of them also former prosecutors, to review the criminal complaint and supporting documents, which are mainly reports by Sandy Springs police officers and investigators, and offer some observations. According to these local criminal law experts, the following may be among the biggest issues to arise in the Schmitt case...."
