Motorcycle: Robert Fotti

Robert Fotti: On April 10, 1977 Robert Fotti ran a red light in Winnipeg. He collided with the motorcycle of 42-year-old Gordon Hochman and his 17-year-old son, Stewart, killing them both, according to CBC. Fotti, who had an extensive record of traffic violations, was charged with dangerous driving, and in 1978, was found not guilty. The Crown appealed the decision and won. Fotti then took his case to the Supreme Court of Canada, which upheld the conviction and After more than 30 years on the run, a fugitive may be heading back to Manitoba. Hochmans wife, Marlene, and other son, Larry, were on a motorcycle close behind and witnessed the aftermath of the crash. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
