teddy you for real dawg?


uh yeah.
i'm not trying to advocate for the 4 guys, but that's a pretty slippery slope if you want to charge them with manslaughter b/c she got hit by a car well after they dropped her off.

Again, they didn't drop her off on the side the road on Burbank. She walked to Burbank from the apartments, so the article says.


SO if an Uber driver picks up a bunch of drunk people, it's his responsibility to make sure they don't walk into a 4 lane highway after he drops them off at their destination? You want to charge that guy with manslaughter if the drunk people get hit and killed by a car after the uber driver drops them off?

the few 21-year-old dudes need other dudes to hangout with or they will just go to the bars that let their 20-year-old friends in.

most people don't turn 21 until late junior year or senior year of college

That is horrible not one person stepped up to help a friend obviously in need.

One of the perps Kaivon Deondre Washington is already 'in the system' (a public record) and charged only with 3rd degree rape/anal.

I won't post the address here.

If the Uber driver drops them off involuntarily in the middle of the street, yeah. Also, Did the Uber driver sodomize them?

We really don't know what her friends and people at Reggie's that she might have known did. Sometimes, you cannot control what your drunk friends do. Even if you try to stop them, sometimes they go anyway. Sometimes the friends are also pretty darn drunk and can't do much.

I'm not ready to blame her friends. They probably blame themselves enough already.

How does that make any sense? Just because those 4 guys committed a terrible crime does not mean she was not irresponsibly drinking under the legal age. How is no one here willing to acknowledge that? If I run a stop sign then get hit by a drunk driver, did I not still run the stop sign? Just because someone did something far worse to me does not mean I did not make my own mistake. It's not her fault she was taken advantage of in a drunken state, but why is it so hard for people to accept it may be on her for getting to that drunken state?


If not for the 4 men, the only crime that would have been committed was a young woman, drinking alone and underage.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the whole context of "consent" was never even a consideration in your case. Not only were you only 12 or so, but you were groomed, gaslighted and brainwashed by your adult sensei. You were closer to a Stockholm Syndrome case than you ever were to a matter of consent or not.

If an Uber driver dumps off a 4x the legal limit drunk on the side of the road at 3 a.m. and they get run over?

Yeah.

We can start with manslaughter and let the jury sort it out. Negligent homicide? Maybe.

But remember this was all to further the crime. She didn't have an ID with her?? No drivers license to see where she lived?

They saw a stone drunk girl and put her in the truck for the purpose of raping her. Raped her anally and vaginally - 2 guys. Then dumped her out of the truck once finished.

They took that risk with her life to commit the crime.

So, yes, slippery your slope.

I'm on that jury: CONVICTED all counts.

If you want to read some disgusting comments, look at Facebook. Men are blaming the dead victim and the black women are saying even far worse. Makes the OT look reasonable.

And a .319 blood alcohol level makes her ability to consent the same as 11 year old.

Why isn't D.A. Moore doing his job and charging these criminals with the crimes they have committed?

Right now, they've only been charged with 3rd degree rape (anal/vaginal), no murder charges.

There is not enough nexus between the death and the rape to charge them.

This is also a classic 3rd degree rape scenario. 3rd degree rape is specifically crafted for this scenario (too drunk to consent legally).

agreed. I understand the question. But my friends and I have left each other in bars and shitty situations plenty. And yes, I'd have felt awful if anything had happened to them, but sometimes its easier just to let them go. I Would never do that with a shitfaced female though.

those arrested I bet are not even lsu students and were just trolling the bar waiting

They're not LSU students. Their identities have been released in multiple news articles. The 17 year old, and I think Washington are seniors at Walker High. (Articles say Washington is a graduate of Walker, but he's listed on their football roster from this past fall.) Lee is Washington's uncle. Carver graduated from Walker last year so he might be an LSU student.

Technically, you're wrong. They're there for the state.

Look dude, you're too emotional to discuss this right now publicly. You're in no position to have a rational discussion.

I'd get your catharsis outside of the public eye

It's not the fault of the friends that outsiders came in and chose to do what they did. Very rarely have I ever seen girls in a group let one go with people they don't know, ever. We live in a world where friends have to go out and make sure everyone comes back home together no matter how wild shite gets. You force those people to come back home with you instead of with a goddamn stranger.

Except she was not alone, she was at a place that has had a reputation for having questionable individuals all over it for over 20 years. If those 4 guys were not in tigerland that night, it still would not have been a safe or smart decision.

I like the way you worded that, excellent point. However, can that analogy carry over to a criminal court room and be a legal precedent?

But aren't the penalties higher for 1st degree?

Again, I'm not a lawyer but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

3rd degree is good for ONE GUY gets girl stupid drunk to have sex with her. Multiple perps here = First Degree.

But only go for higher offense if it has higher penalties.

"Nexus." That sounds like an argument for the defense lawyer to make. I don't know all the facts though. If they drop her off and she's killed a few minutes later = manslaughter.

If, as someone else posted, she went to the apartment, called Uber time goes by... is killed trying to flag Uber down... Maybe your 'nexus' flies.

I'd let the jury sort it all out.

Oh, what'd you think of my suggestion of the video voyeurism charge thanks to the evidence the defense lawyer is about to hand over? Not every day the defense lawyer creates new criminal charges - and supplies useful evidence - to the prosecutor.

Given the Facebook chatter, defense lawyers want black women on this jury. They seem to think the victim 'had it comin.'

Yes. Life in prison, but the facts really don't support this charge unless new information comes out.

The video is their only angle to fight the charges.

It would be petty to add this charge, but the defense attorney will always trade a 1-5 charge for a 0-25 charge.
