This is what happens when stupid people don't drive as the roads are intended to be driven on. You think you're being courteous, but you're fricking things up for people behind you.

Range Rover driver is obviously a moron, bur this person that decided stopping in the middle of the street to let some random pedestrian cross is no genius.

Absolutely. I hate when some idiot tries to wave you to go when they have the right of way. People have to drive assertively. If you drive passively it gets people killed. As we see here.

If that guy drives like he should the traffic flows through and the pedestrian crossed the road once the cars are gone.

The attorney for Andrew Brister, the Louisiana Tech student who hit and killed a man on Ben Hur Road last Saturday, said his client did not realize he was the person responsible until the following morning. Attorney John McLindon says he notified authorities “within hours” of the accident about his client’s involvement in the death of 44-year-old pedestrian Jude Jarreau.

He says all parties agreed that Brister would wait to turn himself in on Wednesday, mainly because Monday was a holiday and the courts would be closed.

They're absolutely going to paint this as him being "unaware" he hit a person, being cooperative with law enforcement once he realized, and the victim crossing at an unmarked, poorly lit location. And it's probably going to work. Like someone else said, unless they've got him pinned for drinking with some other evidence, the jury will never hear a word of that.

No, if that was true, he wouldn’t have driven off after hitting someone with his car.

That’s very considerate of the authorities. Instead of telling him to come to BR right away (Sunday) they let him have a nice Columbus Day holiday and turn himself in on Wednesday.

No rush, let him dry out, get his story straight, practice it and then come in.

People need to think of the donte stallworth incident

He killed a man crossing a highway. He was over the legal limit, but ultimately the majority of the blame was on the deceased as even a stone cold sober person couldn’t have avoided the accident.

Now, stallworth stopped and immediately rendered aid so the shitty aftermath decision making was far different



I still chuckle everytime I think of Buddy D butchering his name as Chianti Stallpepper.....

Unless they have some receipts from a bar or surveillance footage of the driver drinking before, how could an attorney argue that he fled because he was drunk?


That is why it is illegal to flee. I am sure he was terrified, but he has to stay at the scene. I am sure he will get a light sentence, but he is going to be in a bit of trouble. If he stayed, and is sober, he probably doesnt get a traffic ticket.

His GF looks like Karlee Gray (edit: at different angle no bueno)

His new GF could be a dude named Bubby

Well, prob not. If he was loaded (or maybe karlee was in his lap) this was sadly probably a better way for him to deal with the issue than sticking around. Now they likely can’t prove he was drunk.

He sounds like a good fit for Congress. Sad.

So we aren't allowed to speculate on a message board? Again, you know that there is a 99.9% chance he didn't stop because he was drunk or otherwise impaired. Feel free to keep being obtuse I guess


What is your point? You can do whatever you want on a message board. We were debating if the driver was going to be criminally convicted, are we free to do that on a message board?

As they should and as it should. Him going to prison will do no good for anyone. He appears to be a clean cut, good young man with his whole life ahead of him. More importantly he appears to be someone that will contribute to society. Prison will do nothing.

Right or wrong, it’s the truth.

So it’s ok to strike a pedestrian and if he’s drunk you can just leave the scene?



Nope. And I never said it was. I said a drunk guy who is crossing a dark street who gets run over certainly gives the person driving, drunk or not, a lot of leg. And they're going to use it.

Remember when Joey Branch left the Bulldog in 2012 and hit Nathan Crowson and Danny Morris, riding bicycles on Perkins Road? He got 7 1/2 years in jail. If he'd have kept driving and just went home and said he didn't know he did it the night before, he likely gets off. It's a terrible cycle and it's wrong and it's shitty, but it's becoming a legal strategy.

So no - it's not ok to strike a pedestrian and leave. But that's what they did and that's what they're gonna present in court..

What would something like this cost to hire counsel?

$100K or so?
