This is what your "legal expert" said:
Here is what Louisiana law says:
Suffice it to say this "expert" has not read Louisiana bail law or ignored it. Draw your own conclusions.

Adanté Pointer, civil rights attorney and co-founder of Oakland, California-based Pointer and Buelna, Lawyers for the People, said that the defendants should 'make efforts' to remove Judge Myers from the case.
Pointer told DailyMail.com: 'In a bond hearing, the judge is really just meant to determine whether or not the person can be released from custody.
'It is inappropriate to comment on the strength of the evidence or the guilt of the accused. The principle is that everyone is innocent until proven guilty.
Here is what Louisiana law says:

Art. 316. Factors in fixing amount of bail
* * *
(2) The weight of the evidence against the defendant.

I can't imagine the language would be much different anywhere else, but I guess whackadoodle CA might be different.

If this case gets tried at all, I would bet the trial happens in another parish like Lafayette or Calcasieu.

have you read State v. Kennedy?

What chances you think this actually goes trial/plea out?

I do believe she was a little younger than this.

Yeah they don’t have any standing on that. Louisiana dram shop law prevents any damages suffered once they leave the bar.
Ok. In Alabama, bars can be civilly sued by victims of a drunk driver if it can be proven that the driver was "over served'. My friend and the bar he worked at were sued about 20 years ago. It was eventually dismissed.
FTR, I'm not blaming the bar or bartender. This is squarely on the 4 guys. Just curious.

There is an "or" right after the part you stopped quoting at.

My message was clear: when YOU choose to make bad choices bad things can happen and often do.
Obviously this story is worst case scenario and terrible sad ending to this young ladies life.
So........what's the point of you pimping this angle NOW, after the fact.
Was Brooks just supposed to have a moment of clarity sometime after midnight and realize:
"Well, I got too fricked up, I guess I should go ahead and accept the consequences of that, those consequences potentially being getting gangraped and left for dead."
Is that your point?

They are just the vocal mouthpieces doing their part to signal the stance of their "community". It's a monolithic group, sadly.

worse and just awful. These are some of the people that sit on juries and make horrible decisions because they are ignorant.

It depends on the family.
I do not know these folks, but my heart goes out to them. If it were me, I'd probably push the DA to plead them out rather than have a shitshow circus trial forcing me to relive the events. And I think the DA would take the family's view seriously.
But that's just me.

Now see. This is where you messed up.
No group is monolithic. It is this kind of thinking that hurts us all.

I’m sure most guys go to bar with a BAC reader in their back pocket….. furthermore what diff does it make if it’s .319 or .099 as it pertains to the charges against them?
Seems to me legally drunk is legally drunk.
quote:She wasn't alive to blow that .319 BAC.
Fwiw I had no idea a person could even blow that.
Never heard of a BAC being that high.

Those assholes better get the book thrown at them.
And frankly I don’t care as much about Reggie’s as some of you. They screwed up here knowing that the city has been trying to shut them down for a long time. Tigerland’s heyday is long behind it. It needs to be bulldozed and redeveloped.
