Then Supervisor Gerry Connolly committed a hit-and-run, colliding with a car whose passengers included a baby and a pregnant woman. The judge said Connolly acted wrongly, but let him off because he was a powerful politician. Then Connolly punished the police force for issuing him a citation by firing the police chief.” It was clear from witness accounts that Connolly knew he hit the other car, even looking at the driver before speeding away. The judge even said that idea that Connolly didn’t know he had hit another car ‘is perhaps subject to some incredulity on the part of many.’ He added ‘there was certainly good reason’ for Fairfax police to charge Connolly.’ Connolly committed a hit and run. Connolly was cited for it. The judge even suggested Connolly was guilty. But then, the judge let Connolly off, saying ‘position and his duties have caused him to be oblivious to what is going on in his car.’ Edson said, “Once again we see Connolly taking special privileges for himself. He gave himself a 31% pay raise and then he gets a court case dismissed because he was a powerful politician.”
