Covering up can cost you.(IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU)

About 2 a.m. on January 20, 2007, 19-year-old Carlee Wines, a freshman at the University of Connecticut, was stepping off the curb at a crosswalk on campus when she was struck down by a speeding SUV. Police would later claim that the driver, 18-year-old Anthony Alvino, didn't slow down or stop to check on his victim; he didn't even call 911 to report the accident.

Instead, at the urging of his girlfriend, Michele Hall, also 18 and a UConn freshman who was sitting next to him and yelled, "Go, just go, Anthony!" he allegedly left his victim lying in the road.

Witnesses immediately called for an ambulance, and Wines was rushed to the hospital, where she died two days later.

However, Hall would soon find out that by trying to protect her boyfriend--telling him to keep going, saying nothing about the accident--she was really wrecking her own life. ...
