In case there was doubt I just used google earth to look at the only T-intersection near Melrose 7st and 17th ave and there is no crosswalk there. in other intersections you can clearly see crosswalks, but that one has none and would force a pedestrian to walk a bit west or east to cross legally...
I still have a feeling the driver was distracted and going to fast, but if the girls crossed at that T-intersection they were definately J-walking.
