Nope, you are at fault even if the other person caused the accident. You don’t even need to blow over.

I’ve been saying this for a while. Blowing after having smoked a cigarette will show up as alcohol in your system.

the folks making the arrest barely earned a HS diploma. Over. Overcharge and let the DA and judge figure out the rest

Although Nalabolu did not cause the crash, troopers administered a breathalyzer and he blew .087%. Nalabolu was charged with vehicular homicide.



If being above DUI limit alone can be used to charge driver with vehicular homicide where another driver below DUI limit wouldn’t be charged with everything else the same why not then have tougher DUI laws with harsher penalties before deaths or injuries involved?

BRPD is currently hovering around a 54% clearance rate for homicides this year. It you look at the previous 10 years, there’s literally 100’s of homicide cases that have never been solved, and never will.

The cops definitely used coercion and threatened the Physician, and yeah, you never talk to the cops, especially over a situation where a warrant for a blood pull would be required in this situation where counsel was not present.

Yep. I'm not a legal expert by any measure but isn't overcharging generally considered a poor strategy?

A lot. I’m just saying the person is at fault with alcohol in their system even if they didn’t cause the incident. I don’t agree with that.

OT, have at it in this scenario....
You can get dui on a bicycle. What if the doctor was on a bike and she still would have died, after striking him and continuing into a lake.
Does he get vehicular homicide?

Drinking and driving risk to your reputation (at best) and change, if not end, your/others’ lives forever.

Stupid.

From the State Police official release:

quote:

The initial investigation revealed that McKinnon was driving a 2021 Honda Accord north on LA 30.  At the same time, a 2019 Audi A8 was being driven south on LA 30.  For reasons still being investigated, McKinnon crossed the median, entered the opposing lane, and struck the Audi head-on.     

McKinnon, who was unrestrained at the time of the crash, was transported to a local area hospital.  Upon arriving to the hospital, McKinnon succumbed to the injuries sustained in the crash.  The driver of the Audi was identified as 35-year-old Chenna Nalabolu of Baton Rouge. He was properly restrained and did not sustain any injuries. Mr. Nalabolu submitted to a chemical breath test, which he tested over the legal limit, and was subsequently arrested and charged with Vehicular Homicide.

What does the Louisiana statute say about contributory negligence?

If she caused the accident and died from not wearing a seat belt, he's 1% responsible at most. Does that get him off the hook or is he still guilty if he contributed in any way to the outcome?

The statute for vehicular homicide is 14:32. It says that if impairment was a contributing factor to the crash, the person should be charged. Impairment will always be viewed as a contributing factor to the crash. There are loads and loads of data and research that shows alcohol (a depressant) slows reaction times. Was his impairment the cause of the crash? No. But was it a contributing factor? Yes. Therefore it meets the criteria for 14:32.

bullshite. NO way you can say impairment was even 1% a factor in a cross the center line head on. They happen everyday where the other person isn't impaired.
