There's got to be justice: Brother of hit-and-run victim George Robertson says fight is not over

dailyrecord.co.uk:

The brother of a West Lothian man who died after a hit-and-run accident has vowed to see justice done after prosecutors dropped the case.George Robertson, known as Mojo, died in September 2020 after being hit by a vehicle while he was walking along the B792 between Bathgate and Torphichen.The father-of-two was left injured on the road and passed away hours later in hospital.The occupants of the car fled but were eventually traced in July last year and arrested in connection with the crash.But despite police and investigators presenting a wealth of evidence, including damage to the car and phone signals that placed the pair at the scene, the Crown Office this week told George’s devastated family that there would be no prosecution because of a lack of admissible evidence.George’s older brother David said that the pair have not been held to account after refusing to say anything other than “no comment” to officers.He said he will meet with a lawyer next week with the view to launching a private or civil prosecution to “name and shame” the pair.David said: “They left George there to die.

We don’t know what the outcome would have been, but they didn’t offer assistance or go for help, they didn’t phone 999.“They didn’t give him a hope in Hell.“These people are living their lives and their families have no idea that their son and daughter could do what they did.“We don’t want compensation, we want to name and shame them.

It won’t bring my brother back, but there needs to be justice served on them.“They have absolutely no values. “There’s got to be a bit of justice.”David said that his brother’s death has devastated their entire family.His 86-year-old mother has become withdrawn and George’s daughter is too upset to even visit
