YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAfter more than 20 years of litigation, Ed Heller hoped a jury would finally hold the people he believed was responsible for his wife’s death this past March.
Patricia Heller died in January 2003 shortly after leaving Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in a taxi while on a business trip. She never reached her final destination.
According to Hapeville Police, the taxi driver crashed into a line of trees on Interstate 85; the roads were slick after a recent rain. Patricia Heller left behind her husband and two children.
“I heard a knock on the door. And at the door was a police officer and the pastor of our local church,” said Heller. “They told me that she had passed away in the accident.”
The taxicab driver, Abdallah Adem, pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide for driving with unsafe tires, because the cab’s tires lacked sufficient tread.
On March 4, a Fulton County jury found the taxicab company (which is no longer in business) liable for Patricia Heller’s death, but not the driver or the city inspector.
