Jonathan Elie Louis Jauneau, 23, died Sunday morning after being hit by a car on Avenida Libertador, around six in the morning. He had arrived in the country last Wednesday. The trip was to celebrate that he had just received his medical degree.

Luis Alberto Schenone, a 30 year-old lawyer, specialist in corporate law and consumer defense, spent the night in custody at the Community Police Station 12, in Saavedra and on Monday morning he was transferred to the Courts, where they took an investigatory statement. He drove the Ford Fiesta that hit Jauneau, killing him on the spot.

The person in charge of one of the buildings of Libertador at 2200 met yesterday at dawn with three men and the body of Jauneau, lying a few meters from the pedestrian path. The three who stayed at the scene were passengers in the car. They testified that when the car hit the French tourist, the friends descended from the Ford Fiesta but Schenone left the scene. They tried to convince him to stay as well..."come here, do not be stupid, do not make things worse". He did but almost two hours later. According to police sources, he did not seem under the influence of alcohol. Although the first test could have been negative, "now we have to wait for the medical analyzes" that were subsequently made. It would not be the first time that a murderer leaves the place where he ran over and killed, and then turned himself in two hours later, when his blood alcohol level has already dropped.

Currently, there is a law that prevents release if drivers are drunk, speeding or abandoning the victim. Before, those circumstances were not considered to aggravate the sentences and the cases ended with sentences of less than three years and no prison time. The modifications were requested by Las Madres del Dolor and other victims and family members of road accidents. They had insisted for 12 years that the deputies and senators to vote for the law. It was passed in late 2016 when it was about to lose parliamentary status.

..... Jauneau had entered Argentina, as a tourist, on July 11. While Schenone is a young professional, with experience in important law firms and based in Recoleta. That's where the police went to pick up his car....
 
Why would a tourist be crossing Avenida libertador at 06:00 on a Sunday?

Very tragic case of a young tourist at the peak of his life shortened by this sad accident . Still the passengers of the lawyers car showed compassion and courage in defying their friend and this to me shows that there are good caring people in Buenos Aires . Hit and runs are endemic in most countries even in Australia they happen . The issue is drugs and alcohol that create the conditions for these tragic accidents .
 
What relationship has a society with a car crash? The same than the cost of norwegian cod and apples.

The info is unnacurate. The law was changed long time ago. Now you go to jail for this. And abandoning the victim is a different crime with the same punishment than simple murder. In case he survived after the crash and the driver didn’t help him, then this more serious crime applies.

Murder on car accident is until 5 years. After 3 you go to jail if sentenced but not during the process.

To abandon a person whom you crash, if he dies, it is between 5 up to 15 years of jail because there is a special care duty because you created this situation to that person.

Two questions:

1. If the victim was killed "instantly" is leaving the scene just as serious as not staying to provide "special care" if he was still alive or is the victim presumed to be alive until an "official" medical examiner makes that determination?

2. Assuming that the driver (still) tested positive for alcohol after the arrest, will that have any effect on the possible (maximum) sentence or will the charge of vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of the accident be enough to get the maximum possible sentence, regardless of his blood alcohol level?
