re: Lacy’s attorney releases statement to ‘clarify the facts’

Failure to stop and render aid is also a crime

What the frick are you talking about? Show me the law that says a normal citizen must stop and render aid at a traffic crash.

What's your basis for saying this? Is it the "gun" celebration? Or is there some stuff about him that I don't know about?

What is very worrysome to me regarding his attorneys response to the accident and lacys charges is the lack of the statement and/or use of some of some of the following phrases in his explanation of where things stand to their knowledge thus far... "We are confident that the facts in this case will come out in court, and when they are presented, they will do nothing but help to prove our client was not at fault and is falsely accused of his charges. There were witnesses to the accident whos accident reports will bolster our clients claim and position of being not guilty of the charges he is facing and also the lack of physical evidence proving he otherwise is at fault do not exist to our knowledge and from our investigation thus far." I know this isn't for official court proceedings and isn't on record for the proceedings but that would have sounded much better and given me more confidence in his chances at trial.

The truth will come out. There's a police report for a reason, and a multitude of lawyers working on behalf of families and insurance companies.

I think the law you are speaking of is "duty to render aid"?

And that only applies if you were at fault, or in the wreck itself. Sounds like he wasn't. Who knows.

I’ll pretend he didn’t cause it if he takes care of the lives he ruined.

Totally wrong take on this, Beessnax. Regardless of guilt or innocence, your attorney should be the ONLY voice heard at this point in time.

Oh boy. Guess you've never had much of anything to lose, much less millions.

An attorney IS the only way to handle this unfortunate situation.

LA Hwy 20 goes from being 2 lane in each direction, just expanded recently, wal Mart, Lowes ,etc., to one lane in each direction. That one lane area, which I drove daily for years, is a bitch to pass at all, much less safely.

The first report of the accident had the collision in the area past Thibodaux towards Chac Bay, one lane in each direction.

Lafourche DA is not going to charge a well known LSU football player with homicide without a thorough investigation.

This statement is for the prospective jury pool. Otherwise, as the defense, you don't let prosecution know what your case is.

If the attorneys versions is provable you go to the prosecution and negotiate a plea deal on failure to render aid, pay a fine and get ready for the NFL.

Obviously I've not spoken to the defendant but that statement from the attorney seems problematic at best. It is one thing to say your client is innocent but to lay out facts and lock in defendants position is questionable. If Lacy testifies the prospect of being impeached by your own attorney becomes possible. DA might put a trial subpoena on the attorney.

I have never had a warrant out for me but if i did and especially if i was innocent, I would have an attorney

"two lanes In each direction' certainly sounds like a four-lane highway to me. But that makes it a bit confusing when the attorney says he returned to his own lane after passing cars and therefore didn't cause the accident.
