re: Evidence from Kyren Lacy Wreckless Case (HeartBreaking)

But that’s what she said .. that he braked and then he braked harder and then he stopped in the road. I didn’t see that on the video (that he stopped) and the rest wasn’t able to be seen on video. Again I wish there was another camera angle.

Agreed.

Point is KL was driving stupidly and illegally into oncoming traffic then moved back into his lane less than 1.5 seconds before impact. The truck slowed & moved to side of road to evade him. The car was was tailgating and moved to left to avoid hitting truck doing evasive maneuver.

A person is dead due to her poor driving. A person is dead because a young man was driving stupidly and illegally causing oncoming traffic to take evasive actions.

Even if HE slowed down, SHE did not. And she said she saw him hit his brakes .. and then hit them harder .. and then he “just stopped” in the road. That’s what is typed out.

SO if she saw him slow down, and then brake harder and then stop, that took more than a few seconds and she did t hit her brakes per the report until .5 seconds before she hit them.

Maybe he was going 28 the whole time and being an old fart.

We don’t know.

I will say that she said she saw the green charger

In which case, her testimony is quite suspicious.

She's behind the gold truck. As they travel northbound and approach what would be the location of the accident, four vehicles pass her in oncoming, southbound traffic: a white SUV, an F150, a small dark SUV, and then another White SUV. She swerves into the other lane and Mr. Hall's dark SUV car hits her. There's another white SUV traveling southbound behind Mr. Hall's SUV. Then, there's KL's Charger. (This setup is indisputable, as it is clear on the video.)

It's not that she couldn't see it, but KL's Charger wasn't clearly threatening her. If she said that, her story doesn't really hold water.

ETA: This is why I now have a dash-cam in my truck. I was set up for a scam (my automatic brakes kept me from hitting someone who stopped cold on the interstate with no other traffic.) Next time, I will have the evidence.

Please correct me if I have this wrong, but if she saw him brake, then brake harder, then come to a complete stop why did she have to swerve into oncoming traffic. In her scenerio she would have had time to react and at least start slowing down and braking hard herself. However, the black box indicated she didn't step on her brake until 0.5 sec before impact.

I can’t explain any of it. I personally think she was too busy eating Funyuns and listening to her music and just not paying attention. But I wasn’t there and am not a forensic expert:traffic expert. And I don’t know the area.

How do we know how fast the gold truck was going? And I want to see another angle of the video and the gold truck black box.

Edit: wonder if anyone she knows posts here or knows of her new nickname? I do know the Kenny Lacy asked on his fb page to not crucify this girl .. that he knows what negativity can do to people.

Nobody, including the family lawyer, argues that Lacy wasn't driving too fast and illegally passed 4 cars.

The question is how much his actions set the other actions in motion.

The woman's testimony about Lacy's car and how much attention she was giving it doesn't seem to work, as there were several cars that should have gotten more of her attention. Thus, her testimony does not work, which automatically works in Lacy's favor. Add in the video of the truck driver saying that his braking wasn't panicked. Then add the data saying that the woman only braked a half a second before the accident, in conjunction with her turning the wheel aggressively, seem to suggest the woman was distracted in her driving, which was the main and possibly only cause of the accident.

There are some problems:
1) The data is more precise than what I thought was available from auto data collectors at this time.
2) The lawyer does not organize his argument very well, jumping around. For example, he should have had a much better diagram of the scene prepared than to draw if free-hand on the show. I suspect that kind of lack of preparation would not sail in court.

But, even considering these, the video alone implicates the woman at sole fault.
