re: Deputies arrest 4 in LSU student Madison Brooks case

The suspect raped a 12 year old for a hour and you want to argue about the accuracy of blood tests?

Last post, ya fricking morons.

You can get pissed at that and draw conclusions. A jury will not hear it.

So y’all keep beating your little peckers (I’m specifically talking to you, Shrubber) to an accusation (not a fact) that is meaningless in the real fricking world as far as Madison is concerned.

Does this mean you got your Junior Investigator badge? Congrats.

I agree (I work in healthcare, too). In this situation, I am certain she had an IV and was probably intubated in route. This means she likely had fluids prior to arriving to the ER, which dilutes the sample. This would make the 0.312 BAC actually LESS than what it was before.

No one denied IV access or lab draws. Her family wouldn't have had time to deny it because it is done so fast when a trauma first arrives. They will have an EXACT timestamp in her chart that tells the time the blood was drawn. It is part of triaging the patient.

If anything, I feel like there is more evidence to suggest her BAC may have been HIGHER than what they drew than evidence supporting that her BAC was miscalculated and was lower than reported at the time of draw.

False

At intervals on both occasions, blood ethanol levels were estimated using a breath analyzer. Using linear regression analysis, no difference was found in rates of alcohol clearance with or without i.v. fluid intervention. The common rate of clearance between both groups was 15 mg/dL/h (95% CI 12 to 18). We conclude that i.v. fluid therapy does not accelerate ethanol clearance in intoxicated patients.

And I’ve said that multiple times. And I also said my question had way more to do with simply being curious how the biology of it all works. But WeeWaawa wanted to act all big with his CPR training instead of just saying he doesn’t really know either.

Let me give you a less scientific analysis.

It’s indisputable that she couldn’t communicate where she lived with multiple attempts AFTER she had sex.

Do you think someone who doesn’t even know where they live is coherent enough to consent to anal sex with 2 guys in the back of a car?

No it’s not a jury on the board but people are saying Washingtons other arrests won’t come to light at trial. What judge is saying is that it would not be admissible.

Why are you asking me this? It has nothing to do with the validity of the BAC reading which was our discussion and one I was having just because I was curious what could affect it. I’ve already said they are guilty based on their statements alone. Carver really did them all in. The video… the BAC… not all that important when you have these guys saying how drunk she was.

I didn’t the whole thing but that refers to breathalyzer .. if I were stopped by a cop and breathalyzer and had a bac drawn at the same time would they be the same?

Can fluids affect a blood draw but not affect a blow into a breathalyzer??

From the swab was my Lawyer friends thought.

I keep seeing people saying "swab." They did not "swab" test anything for a BAC. They drew blood, sent it in a tube to the lab along with other blood from the same sample to run every lab they needed at once. Are we now going to argue that every lab result was wrong from her hospital admission?
This is just not a good defense and if it is the best that his attorney can come up with then that says a LOT.
