Bridge.
 The impact caused Ms.
Andrews to become airborne.
She landed on the beach
below the bridge. Ms. Taylor
was found bleeding on the
sidewalk. Both women were
pronounced dead at the
scene.
 Mr. Gaillard's trial began
last week, when six jurors and
an alternate were selected.
 On March 28, Andy Fore, a
mechanical engineer who
has done extensive work with
software that re-enacts colli-
sions, testified.
 The drop Ms. Andrews
made was approximately a
50-foot fall, said Mr. Fore
from the witness stand in the
Palm Beach County Court-
house in West Palm Beach.
 He inspected the accident

site twice, the teal 1994 GMC
Suburban Mr. Gaillard was
driving that day a few times
and took an aerial shot of the
scene. His shot was not
shown to the jurors, but a
similar aerial shot was. When
he visited the accident site,
even though it was a year
later, the marks made by
police were still present, as
was the paint from the car on
the concrete, said Mr. Fore.
 He could also see the con-
crete mark on the front left
lens of the car's headlight, he
said.
 The front axel was dam-
aged, as is the case in most
collisions, added Mr. Fore,
who said he has completed at
least 100 inspections/reen-
actments of front-end colli-
sions involving pedestrians.
 By his estimation, Mr. Gail-
lard was driving at least 35
miles per hour when he
struck Ms. Andrews and Ms.

Taylor. He became involved
in the case in July 2007, he
said.
 The defense had hoped his
testimony might give a better
image of what happened,
since witnesses only saw the
vehicle after the accident.
 Mr. Gaillard drove to a
friend's apartment immedi-
ately afterward. When he
spoke with police, about 12
hours later, he told them he
left the scene because his
license was expired due to
not paying child support, as
reported in a previous Home-
town News article.
 Mr. Gaillard drove off the
roadway as a result of prob-
lems he was having with his
girlfriend, he told police. He
threw his cell phone on the
floor of the passenger side of
his suburban.
 "When he threw it on the
ground, he banged on the
steering wheel, and he took
his eyes off the road. That's
what he told us," said investi-
gator Larry Colagiovanni with
the Palm Beach County Sher-
iff's Office in the article.
 Since enough time had
passed between the accident
and when Mr. Gaillard spoke
with police to make a blood
test irrelevant, and investiga-
tors could not prove he was
speeding, Mr. Gaillard was
not charged with manslaugh-


ter.
 Although the police had a
confession, needed evidence
as demanded by law, so Mr.
Gaillard was not arrested for
leaving the scene of a fatality
until Oct. 19, 2006, Mr. Cola-
giovanni said at the time.
 Mr. Gaillard posted a
$50,000 bond set by Judge
Cory Ciklin at a hearing on
Oct. 20, 2006. At trial, Mr.
Gaillard was represented by
attorneys David Roth and Mr.
Tendler.
 Ellen Roberts, assistant
state attorney, prosecuted the
case, which was heard before
Circuit Judge Sandra McSor-
ley.
 A friend of Ms. Andrews
shared her perspective.
 'Adam knows what hap-
pened and Cynthia and
Linda know what happened,
along with God who sits high
and looks low. Monday will
be a sad day in Palm Beach
County if this man walks for
killing two beautiful people.
Tonight I feel like Adam will
get off for this. Tomorrow, I
don't know, but if the jurors
follow the instructions of the
courts, the state didn't pres-
ent a case that would con-
vince me that he didn't know
that he hit Linda and Cyn-
thia," wrote family friend
Perri Demps in an e-mail on
March 29.

leader in 2001 and a lieu-
tenant in 2006. She's currently
in charge of quality control
and is a shift supervisor, said
JackWatrous, fire rescue assis-
tant chief. "She did a lot of dif-
ferent things this year (which
made her a good candidate
for the honor). She started
crossover training, coordinat-
ed a flashover training and
coordinated to get joint train-
ing for North Palm Beach and
Palm Beach Gardens' Fire
Rescues at the Price Funeral
Home on Northlake Boule-
vard before it was torn down,"
said Fire Rescue Chief J.D.
Armstrong.
 "She also managed to get
her master's degree as a nurse
practitioner," he said.
 "Lt. Adams displays a dedi-
cation to duty far beyond that
which is expected of her, and
she strives to provide excel-
lent service in her day-to-day


duties and takes on additional
responsibilities to organize
training that will benefit all of
the, department's fire rescue
personnel and the citizens of
the Village of North Palm
Beach," wrote Chief Canfield
in his statement.
