I absolutely believe they will bring forth evidence of his whereabouts and actions. But it all depends on real evidence like video, receipts, and phone records. All I was saying is it is very argumentative. Because most bars won't have a reliable itemized receipt. Along with proof that he drank the drinks that he may have bought. For all we know, he could have been a DD and drank water all night. But, the prosecution will paint a picture that the defense will have to erase. I just think it will be difficult for the prosecution to make any good arguments about his state of mind without hard evidence like a BAC.
Now we are bringing the bar into the mix. If Im the bar owner and we sold alcohol could I be held liable in the shooting as well? In other words, my cooperation might not be the fullest.

Exactly.
And Fontenot is underage.
But the serving to someone under 21 would be the least of their worries if they got pulled into the mix.

I figured it was possible, so not sure how much it will weigh in here, but regardless of his actual BAC, I'm certain those around the defendant prior to the shooting will be deposed concerning his behavior.
His actual BAC won't factor in as much as it would in a vehicular homicide case, IMO, but alcohol related facts could influence a jury on his charges.

I think it will only matter in the civil suit. I still believe that the charges will be reduced and they will not use his state of mind as evidence in the criminal case. They will not be able to show enough evidence that will be relevant. Unless they have video and some convincing physical evidence.
Or they'll present the evidence and the defense will shoot it down immediately.

I'm out of state and haven't followed and can't make sense of what's happened here with all this conflicting information. Can somebody give me a brief synopsis containing the facts of this case?

I think right now, there are few facts known publicly and almost all you're hearing is speculation.

I have seen some comments that are pretty close to actual events, IMO
Good kids doing mischievous stuff.
They end up "about" the wrong property.
Resident is there and alerted by noise.
Bad situation: multiple thefts before, weapon on property because of fear, family home. including little sister, possibly OTHERS, etc
Confrontation, shots, dead kid.
Kind of a perfect storm of bad events. After the shots, it seems everyone did as expected ,void the notification of the law by either party. Details should remain between the ones who need them at this point......lawyers, police, prosecutors.
Bad tragedy for sure!

None of them, that would make my talking about it a bad thing and illegal in some instances.

Everything I'm hearing is stacked against Fontenot. I'd think they really are going to need to appeal to the victims family for the reduced charges.
I ate dinner with a couple of Fontenot's family and friends tonight that went to court today and they seem awfully optimistic. Tomorrow is going to be interesting.

Pshhhhh not quite. I'm getting biased information from family members and legal advice from friends who are attorneys in town. I was just trying to pump some life into this thread going into tomorrow.
