re: LSP release Lacy info in reference to Lacy attorney misinformation

This is wrong. People "follow too close" all the time resulting in an accident. Following too close is an actual liability term. You will see it with insurance a lot when they determine liability.

For instance if a light turns yellow and a front vehicle slows down to stop and is rear ended by the vehicle behind them they are normally cited for following too close and found liable by the insurance company for following to close (or failure to maintain an fate driving distance).

I don't think that's the point the other guy was making. He's saying that if the female driver was speeding and following too close but the gold truck was not speeding, given enough distance, eventually the lady would've rear ended the gold truck. Unless, of course, she had been speeding from a distance and simply hadn't had enough time to "catch up" to the gold truck, she couldn't have been tailgating the gold truck and speeding for any length of time because she would've hit the back of the truck at some point.

People are viewing the tape with all the information of what occurred after the arrest and someone taking their life.

If you show that video to 1000 people who don’t know who’s driving the car or what occurred afterwards; everyone will conclude that the driver of the green car created the accident.

Him being a star black athlete who later committed suicide is affecting how people view this.

he never said he didnt brake. He said he didnt "lock up". Thats asinine.

The driver of the gold truck said he didn't slam on his brakes

His witness statement said he slammed on brakes. Not sure where yall are getting your information.

Replace Lacy with a Georgia player and everyone on the rant would agree that he caused the wreck and deserved punishment for it's outcome. Throw on the purple and gold glasses for an LSU player and he was just sitting there in traffic completely innocent listening to an e book.

This. Lacy was definitely at fault. Would the negligent homicide charge have stuck? Who knows, but possibly not. He was still catching multiple charges though.

Was the funyon lady also responsible? Yes, to a lesser degree than Lacy. She was speeding and wasn’t playing attention. She was probably also looking at her phone (pure assumption), but the fact is she was still somewhat at fault.

Situation sucks, and is made much worse by Lacy’s suicide, but that doesn’t change the facts of the wreck.

If he wouldn’t have done this, none of this is likely to occur. Ory probably shouldn’t have made that statement agreeing that he was driving in a manner consistent with a penalty of, at the very least, a reckless op citation.

I don’t think there was any way to not have that statement made. There is clear video evidence that Lacy illegally passed the 4 cars. Why would ignoring that help his case?

The reality is that the question to be asked was not if Lacy sped, but did his speeding and illegally passing directly result in the accident assuming all others were following the law.

The fact is that based on the video, had all parties outside of Lacy been driving within the legal framework, this accident doesn’t happen. Does that mean Lacy would have no liability? Absolutely not, he would still have liability/responsibility towards the accident that occurred. The data shows, however, that the Funyuns driver was speeding at 25% over the speed limit behind a vehicle that seems to be travelling legally below the speed limit and in her own statement admits to distracted driving.

That brings in the question of how much fault goes each way. We don’t know if she maybe hits the gold truck without Lacy’s actions, but that is hypothetical. Her driving actions before the actual accident occur make it seem as a possibility.

In the end, it’s a sad tragedy all around.

You make a good point, sir. Several, in fact. I think the distribution of liability and fault is the biggest ? In this case. Bc they both had a hand. It’s a matter of what kind and how many hands.

Thank you for your respectful reply.

Following too closely right before the impact, not the whole time she was speeding.

So why didnt she immediately rear end him when he hit the brakes in response to Lacy? You are accusing her of speeding, which means shes travelling somewhere north of 40MPH. You are also swallowing Ory's garbage about the gold truck only going 28, so if she's going faster than 40 and right on the bumper of a truck going 28 who abruptly hits his brakes, how did she manage to have time to veer left and avoid him?

You are wish casting again.

If someone attempts to rob a store that already being robbed by someone else, they’re still responsible.

Trying to argue that Lacy’s fault is lessened because someone else may have been breaking the law is ridiculous.

This is not a fact. It’s purely an assumption.

This isn’t a situation where you’re splitting 100% between two people. They are both 100% at fault for their actions.

This goes back to you trying to “lessen” the fault Lacy assumes. It’s 100%. Lacy is still 100% at fault for what happened.
