read the statute. 75 on the basin is not gross negligence. period. since a busch league atty can show thats common speed. i wouldn't convict the guy if i was on the jury. now 100mph, unrestrained kids? maybe

Yes they have a third seat. I bet she was texting.

I'm way behind on this, if it was a female driver, who died? Another female? 2nd mom to some some of the kids?

The reason he's been charged is that he could have done better if he'd been more responsible, hence negligent homicide


I mean I know we'd all like to think we would act like Jeff Gordon when something wrong happens with the car, but a blown tire can send a car moving in a direction the driver may not be familiar with. And last time I checked a driving test doesn't have a blowout simulator during it.

Obviously I don't know everything at hand here, but when you're driving and the only death is a passenger in your car I really don't see the need for negligent homicide charges. Again, if the driver was impaired then I understand vehicular homicide charges. But negligent homicide when your actions killed someone close to you...I think they've been punished already. Throwing them in jail does nothing.

Speeding and dodging traffic lose control = negligence

Who cares if he was impaired or not?
He killed a person because he's an idiot driver.

a guy driving down i10 had a blowout, hit the trees and his wife (passenger) died. LSP charged him with negligent homicide.


That's fricked up.

Louisiana is truly #1 in imprisonment.
