Brother of tragic hit and run victim George Robertson slams 'callous cowards' who escaped prosecution

The brother of a man who was knocked down and killed by a car has slammed the 'callous cowards' who have escaped prosecution despite leaving him for dead.
George Robertson, 53, when he was struck by a vehicle, believed to be a Nissan Qashqai, as he walked along the B792 between Bathgate and Torphichen in West Lothian.

His brother David spearheaded appeals to trace the occupants of the car, even offering a £10,000 reward for information.
And the family were given hope that justice would prevail when a man and a woman were arrested in July last year in connection with the crash.
Investigators assembled evidence allegedly linking the pair to the scene, including mobile phone and bank account records.
They even identified and examined the vehicle they were in with the help of Nissan in Sunderland.
However, the Crown Office has ruled out pursuing a prosecution because of a lack of "admissible evidence" - as those accused have refused to speak to police.
Speaking to the Record, David said: "It's absolutely astonishing.
"The police built up evidence to charge these people with causing the death of my brother, but they can't charge them.
"It's astonishing that the legal system in Scotland can't get answers if somebody wants to hit and cause the death of another person.
"It's so unfair. We don't know what to do.
"All of this pain because they said 'no comment'."
In a letter to the family issued last week just one day before what would have been George's 55th birthday, the Crown Office said an appeal against the decision

By Blade MandersImagine this; life is pretty good, you’re working an amazing job, caring for some of the most incredible and vulnerable people and then one day, on the drive home from what can only be described as a pretty unremarkable night shift, you hear a story on the news about a virus.Like you do with most things you see or hear on the radio, news or , you think nothing of it.Only, news of this virus spreads fast and hot, with numbers increasing daily; it isn’t long before this virus makes world headline news “Coronavirus has now been classed as a global pandemic.”That is when everything changed. Over the past two years, I have been tested.COVID-19 destroyed my goal of becoming a nurse in Scotland at one of the largest tertiary hospitals in Europe; it made me question my integrity.
