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

And if you did watch the video, and the guy didnt break hard and swerve to the side, how come he wasnt in front of the wreck? Where did his truck disappear to? We can clearly see the wreck, and then Kyrens green charger, and yet, No Truck. Not to be seen anywhere

Thats because he slammed on his brake and pulled to the side of the road. And came to a complete stop, out of camera range

Reposting from the OT:



Truck turns off into the parking lot after the collision.

If he “slammed on his brakes, pulled to the side of the road, and came to a complete stop out of camera range” then why do we see him leisurely turn into a parking lot 1 second after the collision? Vehicle data says the lady behind him didn’t brake until 0.5 seconds before collision. Look at the video above and tell me how that truck could have been at a complete stop on the side of the road 1.5 seconds prior to entering the camera’s view.

That’s the entire problem with LSP’s narrative. It hinges on the idea that she swerved to avoid Lacy after the gold truck ran off the road. It’s right there in the snippet you quoted on the first page:

quote:

---

As Lacy was illegally passing the other vehicles, the driver of a northbound pickup truck abruptly braked and swerved to the right to avoid a head-on collision with the approaching Dodge. Traveling behind the pickup was a 2017 Kia Cadenza whose driver swerved left to avoid the on coming Dodge Charger.

---

In that scenario it’s irrelevant whether she was following too closely or distracted, because she was swerving to avoid a vehicle who shouldn’t have been in her lane to begin with. However, if she actually swerved left to avoid rear-ending the gold truck, it changes things quite a bit. Doesn’t mean Lacy did nothing wrong, but it does make the decision to arrest him for negligent homicide while letting her off without a traffic ticket questionable (at best).

As for the LSP “not doing anything wrong” I don’t know how you could watch the body cam footage and think they were going into the situation with an open mind

---

I certainly didn't say LSP didn't do anything wrong.

I misread the sentence about LSP.

I see that now

And yes, I watched the video. And laughed out loud when he attempted to claim 72 yards was plenty of time for vehicles traveling at 55 MPH TOWARD EACH OTHER (allowing just over a second to get out of the lane), was plenty of time to decide what to do in the path of Kyrens car

He swerved off the road too. Why leave that part out?

---

These are the things that make me not 100% sure.

Was the truck on the shoulder? Did the woman look up and see the truck moving to the right...and Lacy (at some point) heading straight towards her?

Logically, the truck would have had to have pulled off to the right and stopped since we didn't see him pass the accident, right?

stop comparing a licensed driver making an illegal pass to dogs and deer. Take a look at how traffic laws work, then get back to us.

Because he was no longer in the road. You would not be able to see the impact, if he was still in front of her. She only had .5 seconds to react. That means the truck would already be on the side of the road, out of camera view, giving you a clear view of the wreck, Or the truck was still on the road, passing the car where the passenger died, prior to impact.

After the impact, you see the truck turn. After. There is no scenario where the Kia gets in front of that truck to collide with oncoming traffic, before that truck gets to the oncoming traffic. She would have plowed into the truck first. He pulls to the side, allowing her room to go around Thereby ending up in front of that truck, hitting the car before the truck gets to the parking lot

I never said he had zero liability. He is a human who has concept of driving and traffic.



I’m saying that the VAST majority of the blame lies with the person who actually hit the other car.


Hence why KL can be replaced with a vast number of other things and the wreck still happens.

quote:

---

In a traffic law chain of events, liability is determined based on the legal concept of proximate cause, which finds the person whose negligence was the most direct, foreseeable cause of the accident. While the driver who starts a chain reaction is often held responsible, multiple parties can be found partially liable.

---

Perhaps your argument is that others should have been cited also, but there's no valid argument that Lacy was completely innocent.

That's what his lawyer is claiming, and also alluding to corruption within the DA and Police department. Those are very serious charges.

No. Look at the pic you posted earlier. You can see he bails into the northernmost driveway of the carwash next to Go Bears, not the southernmost. He is slightly blocked by the carwash sign in the Ory video. They were a little closer to Lacy than this.

ETA. Scratch that. I think you are right. The southernmost driveway of the car wash is where the truck bailed.
