This, despite the facts that no finding has been released a month after the incident, or that Goodman hasn’t been charged, according to one of the Wilsons’ attorneys . Goodman survived with minor injuries, and authorities are considering criminal charges. Goodman, 46, was at two parties before the accident , and was accused by his ex-wife last year of being a cocaine abuser . “Scott’s parents understand that this is a high-profile situation and that everyone involved is trying to dot the ‘i’s and cross the ‘t’s,” said West Palm Beach attorney Scott Smith , who represents Wilson’s dad, William . “The family doesn’t want anyone to make a mistake on this.” When asked about a recent

His car was so banged up that water rushed inside as soon as it hit the canal. “The damages to Scott’s car were horrific,” Smith said, “probably the worst I’ve seen in a two-car collision.”
