This image provided by U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Va., shows the Zimbabwe National Registration card for Alois Pedzisai Matyoramhinga. Unusual circumstances have left federal prosecutors pursuing vandalism charges against Andrew Pastirik, a U.S. government worker accused of killing Matyoramhinga in a drunken driving collision. Much of the case against Pastirik is shrouded in secrecy at a federal courthouse in northern Virginia. Court documents show the only charge filed against Pastirik in the 2008 death is one of “malicious mischief,” or vandalism, for wrecking a U.S. government-owned Toyota Land Cruiser he was driving.
