Drunk driver allegedly killed Marine veteran in Las Vegas hit-and-run crash then fled US: report

“How is this individual not a flight risk in the eyes of any judge?”

Iurie Trofim, 40, is accused of crashing his Ram 1500 pickup truck into Carson Heath, 55, on Aug. 26. The 55-year-old was riding a Yamaha motorcycle during the crash, which happened at around 11 p.m. near Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, about 17 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip, according to 8 News Now.

From that article
Prosecutor Yu Meng said in court on Tuesday that it appears Trofim had fled the US following the fatal crash in August and is now back in his native Moldova, about 6,000 miles away from Las Vegas.

Moldova has no extradition treaty with the US, and the nation’s “constitution does not permit extradition of its nationals,” according to the State Department.

I'll never understand why anyone's given bail for killing someone and why passports aren't automatically forfeited.
