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

It is. But if the lady in the Kia was paying attention and following from a few car lengths behind and at a speed she could slow down without hitting the truck or swerving into oncoming traffic then noone would have died. It is a fact she 100% could have prevented taking another person's life through her own actions leading up to and during the accident.

That doesn’t prove that she was following too closely. It only suggests that, in that flash of a moment, she decided veering left was her safest evasive action. Maybe she never saw the victim.
If she wasn’t following too closely she would have had more than a flash moment. That’s the whole point of following at a reasonable and prudent distance. so you don’t have 0.5 seconds to react to things like this.
Not seeing the victim before entering his lane of travel is negligence not an excuse.

Possibly, but as I’ve pointed out earlier, even using the “one car length per 10MPH” safe distance standard, she’s still one second from impact at 50MPH. That’s without counting human reaction time which cuts that in half. It’s just impossible to prove.
And the what if game is a slippery slope. What if the gold truck stays in his lane since Lacy returned to the southbound lane 70+ yards from the scene? What if she rear ends the gold truck rather than veer left? Are there more deaths? What if Lacy doesn’t try to pass 4 cars going 30MPH over the speed limit in a no passing zone?

In a better world that's all that would've happened.
Except someone died. Merely getting a reckless driving ticket isn't on option then.
What lacy was doing was very reckless. He could've easily been in an accident himself driving like that. You could tell the 18wheeler driver was pissed at seeing someone drive like that putting others at risk.

Ugh. Arguing in circles.
At 75 feet, she would have had 1 second to react, not accounting for reaction time.
Now- define what the safe distance should have been and show me evidence that she was inside of said distance and we can talk, but repeating that she “just was” isn’t an argument.

no you just keep trying to loop back to the start.
Her actions were negligent. Whether she was following too close or not.
If she was too close that negligent
If she wasn’t she made an insane choice to swerve into oncoming traffic and that’s negligent.

Here’s your problem (among many). You have to be able to prove that to a jury.
There are a million scenarios that could have lead her to veer left. Her best judgement in the moment, what she saw or didn’t see in that moment, a perhaps diminished reaction time, reflexes, and so on…
We get it, you firmly believe she’s guilty, but thankully thats not enough to charge someone with homicide in this country.

Nobody’s actions amounted to negligent homicide. The DA through her investigation concluded that he was over charged.
Posted on 10/8/25 at 10:11 am to Calico
I’m not sure these initial charges have been dropped or altered though. That’s what he’s referring to.
Can you link this? I’d love to read it.

The standard is 3 seconds minimum with 1 second per 10mph. And even at your number she isnt 1 second from impact. That would assume the truck in front of her went from 30 mph to 0mph instantly rather than counting his braking distance.

3 seconds is another standard often used, yes. One car length per 10MPH is another.
But there’s no metric articulated in law. You may be right, but it can’t be proven. That’s the point.

Just a little detail you may not have thought of.

At least now we can understand why we have so many pile ups and traffic accidents. It seems many people dont understand that you should drive as if the person in front of you may have cause to hit their brakes at any time.
This should not cause you to have to hit them or leave your lane if you are paying attention and your brakes work correctly.

How about we do a thorough investigation in order to reveal the facts.
How about we assign responsibility based on the conclusion of the investigation and the facts.
That is how society should demand these type of incidents are settled.
Social media and 24/7 news cycles have resulted in people wanting the conclusions before the dust has even settled at the scene of the crash.
Then, once we identify the participants in the event, some want to view the situation in the best light of the side they choose or outcome them want.
Many times, totally disregarding the investigation, facts and evidence.
The public does not have all of the facts or evidence at this time and rightly so.
Once this all plays out and the statue of limitations for lawsuits to be filed has played out, then and only then does the public have a right to all of the investigation files, videos, reports, statements, etc.
If all of this data, videos and evidence was 100% available today, to the public, both the attorney and LSP would have to release it and let the chips fall where they may.
That would not change the fact that society would be split with those that choose to believe the facts and those that would question the facts just because it does not align with their belief.

Irrelevant. The driver of the gold truck saw the Charger racing towards him, in his lane, a no passing zone….hit his brakes hard enough to make the car behind him avoid running into the back of the gold truck…..
This is Lacey’s fault, if not solely his own doing, his reckless driving…speeding and passing in a no passing zone directly contributed.

the DA chose not to accept charges proceeding kyren killing himself. charges were never dropped. kyren's actions absolutely justified a negligent homicide charge.

You keep saying she only had a moment. I keep telling you that shouldn’t happen. You should leave yourself enough room to have more than a split second.
What does a diminished reaction time mean?

If the gold truck was able to brake and come to a stop why couldn't the Kia? Have you seen evidence that the Kia had worse brakes or that the Gold Truck had upgraded brakes?
Generally a Kia will have shorter stopping distance than a truck due to weight.
