Corporal Charged After Nine-Year Wait

Nine years after a young man was fatally struck by a police corporal off-duty, justice is finally moving forward. Corporal Samuel Rolle, 41, faces charges of causing death by dangerous driving after hitting 21-year-old Phillip Clare Jr. in 2017. The coroner’s inquest found gross negligence manslaughter, revealing Rolle’s unlicensed, uninsured car and his speeding. Though no traffic charges were filed then, Rolle now appears in court on bail, with court dates set for the Supreme Court. The Clare family, long frustrated by delays, now sees this as a critical step — their mother insists justice for her son is all she seeks. Rolle must report weekly to police, and the case’s long wait underscores the family’s enduring fight for accountability. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
