...I am so sick of hearing GC residents say things like, "Adam still
hasn't paid for what he did to Delia."
Adam did not "do" anything to Delia. he was driving his car. He was
not drunk. He was not texting. His SUV was high and he did not see
Delia when she ran in front of his vehicle chasing her dog and he hit
her. When he felt the thud he stopped his vehicle, got out and looked
around. He saw the dog running away and thought that's what he had
hit. He was even concerned about the dog, but decided that it looked
OK and wasn't seriously injured so he drove off.
That night he did NOTHING wrong, any different than any of us might
have. Or any other GC resident would have.
Yes, it was horrible and we all hated to see that cute little girl
killed and off the show. But I still hate when everybody talks as if
he is a monster because he hit her when he didn't even know it at the
time. Especially Billy. I haven't forgotten the evil things that he
has INTENTIONALLY done. I'm so sick of the hypocrites in Genoa City...

LOL, Zob. TPTB already addressed Adam's guilt using a trial a few
years ago. Either they forgot it or remembered it, hoping we forgot
it. If so, it's just lazy producing and writing from Anthony Morina
and Josh Griffith, IMO.
I'd like to excerpt the following Wiki entry about Adam Newman
now Adam Wilson.
"At the trial, Adam waves his right to self-incriminating himself
and confesses on the stand that he hit Delia and willingly didn't
turn himself in. Adam is resigned to his fate, and during a recess,
he tells Jack that he killed Delia and it is time for him to pay.
When Billy takes the stand, he says it is his fault for letting Delia
stay in the car. Adam stands up and tells Billy it isn't his fault,
and Billy says they all need to forgive Adam. During another
recess, Billy leaves with Victoria and they go to the gecko tree
planted in Delia's honor in Chancellor. Park. They talk about Delia,
and Billy says he forgives Adam. Delia appears as a ghost and
says "I love you daddy." Adam is sentenced to ten years in prison
and tells Chelsea to tell Connor that he loves him...
Just as he was about to go into the prison jeep, a speeding car
comes out of nowhere and hits Adam.... Adam was taken to
the hospital, and allowed to recover from his injuries, before
being transported to prison. Judge Elise Moxley went to see
Adam, and told him how Victor was blackmailing her to help
Adam. Nikki arrived, and told Adam that Elise had an affair,
and Elise said it was with Victor...
...This time around, Michael is able to make a strong enough
case that Moxley decides not to send Adam back to prison,
and instead sentences him to probation and community
service; however, she warns Adam that if he violates his
probation, he will spend his remaining sentence in prison..."

To summarize: Adam had his day in court and admitted his
guilt in hitting Delia and failing to turn himself in. He was
sentenced to serve ten years in prison. Michael appealed
the case and the judge sentenced probation and community
service for Adam. Case closed.
