quote:He said he didn’t brake hard enough to lock up. He absolutely said he hit the brakes. Did his truck have the black box to show data? What data are you referring to?
the gold truck said he didn’t brake hard if at all and supposedly the data shows he didn’t.

So LSP is not going to acknowledge their officer clearly trying to force a statement

Everyone coming out yesterday proclaiming his innocence should have waited.
Didn’t the DA’s office proclaim his innocence too?

he said he didnt have to "lock up" his brakes. Luckily for him, there was a driveway for him to bail off into after initially veering right to avoid Lacy. This isnt disputed in ANY of the videos or testimony given. What point do you think you are making here?
Do you ignore her speeding, admitting she was driving distracted by her Funyuns, and slammed her brakes last second.
Again, I never said Lacy was innocent of any blame, but there are reasons if someone slams their brakes in front you and you ram them, you are considered at fault.
Lacy didn’t deserve to be dragged through the mud by the police, media or any of the yahoos on this site, but he was.
He did something wrong and potentially helped precipitate a fatal crash, but it is not entirely on him and many of the witnesses made statements completely contradictory to what the video show, yet we are to believe they were in the right point of view and mindset to give perfectly accurate testimony/statements.

Stop. that's not how traffic laws work. A driver that triggers a chain of events leading to a crash will ALWAYS be held liable.
No, not always. One person doing something wrong does not give everyone else freedom to behave unreasonably.

I don’t think they went that far but they disputed the LSP findings.

The DA admitted that they probably overcharged. But to be fair that’s what all DAs do. This was considered a homicide so it was going to a grand jury anyway and the final charges would have been decided then.

agree that the tactics to get the statement from the gold truck were questionable at best. But that doesn’t change what we see in the full, wide-angle camera view and the immediate reactions of others who saw what took place.
The people who "saw" what took place couldn't get their stories straight. One says a gold truck, or whatever, slammed on his brakes, but the guy driving the truck denies that claim.
So, all we have is an accident happening, where a lady clearly wasn't paying attention, and Lacy in the area, committing violations, and the cops put those two things together and blamed it on him because he was driving recklessly. There is no way to prove how the lady was affected, if she wasn't paying attention in the first place. None of this is to defend Lacy's driving. I've been consistent on that. But this accident had to do with a lot more than whatever Lacy was doing, is my point.

Her own statements and the data from her vehicle. Again, anyone claiming Lacy is exonerated of any blame whatsoever is kidding themselves. Anyone putting full and total blame on him is doing the same.
Nothing in the videos justifies the bulk of the charges they gave him.

quote:Slammed is a subjective term. Let’s agree that he had slowed down suddenly but not so hard that he caused a lockup. Regardless, he slowed and turned due to Lacy being in his lane and coming fast. That’s not disputed.

That witness wasn’t at the scene any longer. The officer had the statements from everyone else and wanted to make sure gold trucks statement matched it. That’s why he coached him on what to say.

All the state police is doing now is covering their arse

What statements and what data? The only statement I saw from here was in the body cam footage and she said she was going the speed limit. I understand this is a self serving statement, but if you have the conflicting statement and data I'd like to see it.

again, tragic all the way around
Lacy would have had his day in court to determine who was at fault, unfortunately it didn't get to that point

not entirely, no. The woman that caused it is at fault without a doubt, but the fact remains this accident never happens if he isn't driving like a lunatic in an area where people would never expect someone to be driving the way he was. He's the main reason this accident happened.

The LSP would have been well served to release the interview with the gold truck driver that left the scene...
But it is clear that Lacy was driving recklessly, and likely started the chain reaction that caused the accident. At least there was enough video and witness evidence to arrest him.

Did he swerve and brake hard to avoid Lacy? He claims he did neither, but you are more of a witness than the person there
So "I didn't skid-mark or nothing" means he didn't brake at all? He says on his written statement both occurred....

The fact that she had to swerve into oncoming traffic tells you this.
