Police back off hit-and-run in Brentwood girl's death

No criminal charges are expected in the death of Julia Siegler, a 13-year-old eighth-grader at Harvard-Westlake School who was struck by two cars Friday morning while crossing Sunset Boulevard. "It appears to be a horrible accident," says LAPD captain Nancy Lauer. Reports on Friday called it a hit and run, but police later said both drivers stopped. The girl was crossing on a red light, according to the Times story.
