caramagno, i knew something was wrong. judge, i was heading east on sahara drive, and i was rear-ended. it was a hit-and-run, your honor. you called the police, obviously? i did not, your honor. i m not in favor of dialing 911. one thing you don t do is tell a lie to the judge. scott hoper is attorney joe caramagno s stand-by counsel. when you have two district attorneys sitting next to you who have access to las vegas metropolitan detectives and street patrol who quickly phoned in the location of the accident, the story it kind of changed a little bit. courtroom cameras capture his entire exchange with the judge. i was traveling west on sahara. you were traveling west on sahara now? pardon me, east. judge, i was actually hit from behind. i was pushed into a car in front of me. so it was a double hit-and-run. i guess. i was actually trying to make a hush sound to joe when i was behind him, and he just wouldn t listen.
