The man accused of killing former East Baton Rouge Parish Metro Councilman Buddy Amoroso was sentenced in court Thursday. Nicholas Alexander has been sentenced to 90 days in jail. But all days were suspended except for 15 of them
quote:
In court this morning, Buddy’s wife, Denise gave an emotional victim impact statement. “Mr. Alexander, by the grace of god, I forgive you. Not for you, but for me” “Robing me of the rest of my life with my husband, my best friend.” “You must repent.”
quote:
A new charge of vehicular injuring was added. For the new charge, Alexander pleaded no contest. He also has to write an apology letter to the surviving victim, Thomas Clement. Authorities say Alexander was behind the wheel of the truck that hit Amoroso and Clement while they were riding bikes last summer. During the investigation, officials learned Alexander failed to reduce his speed and move into another lane. His 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe struck both cyclists from behind.

They couldn’t find a few grams of weed on him to give him some time?
What a joke.
What a joke.

Was the driver intoxicated or in any way impaired?

I mean if the State can’t prove the driver was impaired or distracted and it was purely an accident...I don’t see the reason for locking him up for 20 years.

Was he doing something malicious when the incident occurred?
If he didn't see a biker and hit and killed him, I imagine he feels pretty shitty about that. Has he not expressed remorse?
Just feels like there's a detail missing that needs to be known that would make it make a bit more sense.

Bicycles should not be allowed on any road with a speed limit above 45. Bicycles were banned from the interstates back when speed limits were 55. It makes no sense to have two vehicles share a roadway when they have drastically dissimilar speed characteristics.

Wow.

15 days is pretty light but the dude wasn't impaired and it was an accident. No reason to ruin another life over it
Posted on 1/10/19 at 12:22 pm to Cump11b
wow
