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

I’m not saying he’s the only one responsible, just answering your question. The thought is that him speeding the opposite lane caused a chain reaction. If you are driving down a two line highway going 40 mph then you see a car in your lane facing you head on, going 60 mph, you are likely going to have some sort of reaction.

I think it’s pretty clear that Lacy’s illegal passing started everything. I think the part that isn’t clear is whether that amounts to negligent homicide, or even 100% civil fault given the other facts available.

You mentioned that if someone is coming at you head-on, you’re going to have a reaction. I agree. The vehicle who saw the charger coming head-on (gold truck) reacted - by braking. It’s debatable whether he “slammed on his brakes” at this point, I think that’s pretty subjective, but he certainly braked.

The lady behind that gold truck was not reacting to Lacy coming at her head-on. She was reacting to the gold truck braking in front of her. She reacted by crossing the centerline and hitting an oncoming vehicle.

So we have one vehicle who reacted to another driver’s (Lacy’s) completely unexpected actions in probably the safest manner possible.. by braking. We have another vehicle reacting to something that happens all the time (a vehicle braking hard in front of you) by crossing the centerline and getting into a head-on collision.

Drivers will certainly react in unexpected ways to a vehicle coming head-on, no argument here. But that’s not what she was reacting to, and you’re always expected to be prepared for a vehicle ahead of you to hit their brakes.

Both Lacy’s actions and Funyun lady’s actions were negligent but one was arrested for negligent homicide while the other (who actually hit the oncoming vehicle) got off without a traffic ticket. I think it’s reasonable to acknowledge that Lacy was driving recklessly while also thinking it was a reach to arrest him for negligent homicide, especially when the original LSP narrative supporting the arrest warrant that gold truck had swerved off the road and Funyun lady was trying to avoid hitting Lacy appears at this point to be completely false.

the car behind the truck was going almost 50mph and tailgating and she swerved because the gold truck slowed down to 28 mph in a 35 zone.

Genuine question, how is a car that is going 50 mph tailgating a car that is going 28 mph?

Bro. I’m timing the video of what happened. Not any of your irrelevant info

---

bro, if your reading it correctly you would.know im agreeing with you. The other guy said it was longer, I disagree with him and agree with you. It was a much shorter time frame. Smh. Come on man. Not too mention im talking about before the accident with KL's distance and timing. Ive done the timing for years on end with technology bro.

All the morality police in here acting like they’ve never driven like an a-hole before

Incredible

Yea but math wouldn’t explain cause there was massive deceleration going on. It’s from the live video in the lsp footage released. Between 4.25 to 5 seconds was timeframe of lacy seeing accident and decided to evade around the accident immediately. Pretty douche move regardless of fault or not

i was asking specifically about the quoted part.

quote:

---

One who suddenly finds himself in a position of imminent peril, without sufficient time to consider and weigh all the circumstances or best means that may be adopted to avoid an impending danger, is not guilty of negligence if he fails to adopt what subsequently and upon reflection may appear to have been a better method, unless the emergency in which he finds himself is brought about by his own negligence

---

Again, not being able to brake in time is her negligence.

It would be up to a jury to decide. And maybe new caselaw would be introduced. Lacey has a right to defense for sure. But in this case, there’s not going to be a trial unfortunately.

If Kyren isn’t driving recklessly, we’re not sitting here having these conversations.

And if the woman who actually swerved out of her lane and hit the other vehicle had been paying attention, not exceeding the speed limit, and not following too closely, we’re not sitting here having these conversations. In fact, if she were only engaged in 1 or 2 of those 3 infractions, we aren’t having this discussion.

It’s kind of what I said earlier that everyone needs to take a step back. There’s no clear corruption in my opinion from the police. The attorney is doing his job. The police are saying what they have. They thought he was guilty. That’s it. Sometimes there’s just not a definitive answer. Everyone just has to make up their own mind based on what’s there.

It’s not an either or situation. Her being at fault doesn’t somehow absolve Lacy. He was also at fault.

This is a simple concept that many people can’t seem to grasp.
