More Info: An Iraq war veteran testified that as he rendered aid to Dominick F. Salois by holding his head in his 2006 yellow Mustang after the crash, Salois “was more worried about the car than the other people.” “He said his father had just bought him the car not too long ago as a present for graduation,” said Michael Johnston, who was framing a roof at a construction site near the collision. “I told him I thought two people were dead. After that he was more worried about his car than the two other people in the other car.”

Question: Did the judge make the right decision in allowing the trial to continue?
