re: Kyren Lacy’s attorney issues new statement in support of DA

quote:

---

The DA impaneled the grand jury to avoid having to be the o e to make the decision because the DA is an elected position.

---

It has been said that the DA empaneled the GJ because of the death and resulting charges from that.

quote:

---

Replace Kyren Lacy with someone’s lab running out on to the road 100 yards from the golf truck and the wreck still happens.

---

You just made my point.Thank you.
In the case you put forth the dog would be the catalyst that started yhe chain of events, and in the case at hand, Lacy was the catalyst. He is responsible for this whole thing starting and ending in a man's death.

---

The fact that it could be any one of many everyday occurrences on the road shows that Kyren Lacy was not critical to the events that unfolded

---

He was the reason the events unfolded but he wasn’t critical because anything could have caused them to unfold!!!

A squirrel could have caused it!!! Or a duck!! A gator!!!! Coach O jogging shirtless in the street!!!

The catalyst was someone eating Funyuns and not paying attention while speeding.

Wrong.

Catalyst:

1. a person or thing that precipitates an event.

2.a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change.

The “event” was the collision between Funyuns and the man. Kyren’s wreckless illegal driving precipitated the event

In the scientific sense of the word (2): Kyren was the “substance” that “increased the rate of chemical reaction”(chain of events resulting in crash), “without itself undergoing any permanent change”(was not physically involved in crash himself)

AI Overview: Yes, there can be more than one catalyst, including systems where two or more catalysts work cooperatively or in sequence to achieve a chemical reaction. These multi-catalytic systems are used to accelerate reaction rates, increase efficiency, and enable the synthesis of complex molecules. Examples include cooperative catalysis, where multiple catalysts activate different molecules that then react, and tandem catalysis, where a reaction sequence is catalyzed by a series of catalysts in a "one-pot" fashion.

Did she get charged with negligent homicide?

---

No, maybe she should have, maybe not. I would like to hear the reasoning why LSP did not consider her to be at fault enough to charge. Maybe they have a good reason, maybe not.

But the thing is, as of right now, the only reason people seem so sure Funyuns was negligent is because of how the information was presented by Lacy’s defense attorney. Of course he is going to slant everything in a way that puts more blame on someone other than his client, that is his job.

If Funyuns had a defense attorney he would be releasing information and slanting everything in a way making it look like Lacy was more at fault. And everyone would be even more confused right now.

People are losing sight of what the argument should be about right now. Given what the LSP and DA knew, was the charge of negligent homicide against LACY “unreasonable”? Ory basically painted a picture of LSP as being either incompetent, corrupt, racist or all of the above. That is a serious allegation.

I personally don’t like the charge of negligent homicide for what Lacy did. But considering the case was being sent to a Grand Jury, they would have the opportunity to dismiss the charges before it ever even went to trial.

Even though I don’t like the negligent homicide charge, given the evidence they had, it doesn’t seem unreasonable to send it to a Grand Jury and let them decide.

Does it generally take that long between identifying the car/plate and identifying the driver? not that it’s important. I’m just curious.

---

On the surface, it would appear simple.
The vehicle was ID'd first thru the LPR's (Licensed Plate Readers). -
You can't arrest a vehicle, you must identify the driver.
This can be simple, "Yes I was driving my vehicle."
It can be more difficult, "No, I was not the driver of my vehicle at the time in question."

This is where the multiple LPR's (Licensed Plate Readers) come into play, along with cell phone tower pings, red light cameras and location services.
Once you identify locations where the car has been - you then match up vehicle & driver being at the same place.
Then look at business cameras, ring cameras, or any camera you can find that may have video of the driver & vehicle together.

Are the windows tinted? Gets a little more challenging.
No window tint, maybe camera places owner driving the vehicle at the time in question.

These can all be a time consuming process to get the info, then review hours of data & video.

It's not what the police know,,,,,it becomes what they can prove in court
