A lawyer for the man charged over the death of 82-year-old Florida grandmother Deborah Murphy has described the case as 'an unfortunate incident and not criminal in nature', putting the spotlight on a fatal Publix car park crash in Panama City Beach and prompting anger online.
Murphy was struck by an SUV, knocked to the ground and then run over in reverse, according to the Florida Highway Patrol's crash report. The case has become a flashpoint because it combines a death, a disputed legal defence and questions about immigration status and accountability. Murphy died after the May collision outside the supermarket.
