UPDATE: 2/2/2012 The “awful” legal move a lawyer believes Goodman made — adopting his own daughter — to avoid paying up in court!
UPDATE:
The Palm Beach Post is reporting that it’s been five days since the collision that left UCF grad Scott Wilson, 23, dead in his overturned car at the bottom of a Wellington canal — and the public still doesn’t know the following about the case:
The results of the blood-alcohol tests of the other driver, multimillionaire polo impresario John Goodman; the outcome of Wilson’s autopsy; any witnesses’ statement recorded during 911 calls; and details such as Goodman’s whereabouts when deputies arrived on the scene.
Perhaps most starkly, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office hasn’t said whether it will seek criminal charges or even traffic citations against Goodman, owner of the International Polo Club Palm Beach, the Post reported.
Initial Sheriff’s Office reports said investigators suspect alcohol or drugs played a role, and Goodman’s Bentley ran a stop sign. READ THE PALM BEACH POST’S FULL STORY HERE.

The billionaire, John Goodman, was driving a Bentley and had just left a bar before the deadly crash in Wellington, according to WPTV News Channel 5. Goodman is now under investigation for a possible DUI.
