re: Deputies arrest 4 in LSU student Madison Brooks case

If Washington is tried and convicted in LP before the EBRP court trials, would that fact be submissible in the EBRP court trial for all 4 of the idiots?

Dude. I’m just talking about what can affect the number. You keep saying I’m trying to defend someone. How many times do I have to tell you I think they’re guilty?

It’s weird is all I’m saying. It’s going to be even more awkward when I bump this thread.

First, I never said the fluids had ANY effect on blood alcohol CLEARANCE. I said that the added fluids to her blood would dilute the sample, making it appear less than it was.

---

That makes sense. What about blood loss? Can trauma somehow affect BAC in nonobvious ways?

quote:

They study you reference is referring to a BREATH test measurement of BAC levels. I promise that they drew blood, she was likely unable to provide a breathalyzer test after being hit by a car. The BLOOD SAMPLE would likely be diluted, being that fluids were added to it.

---

I saw that too. And the affidavit says it was a blood sample.

So maybe the defense flips it. They say it was a diluted sample and, based on the methods used, would have been an undiluted number so high she couldn’t have walked, when we know she did walk into the street. So there must be something wrong with the measurement.

it won’t be because of you and Roger the Stubby’s “opinions.”

I've been telling you this all thread, and you finally get it.

Holy frick, you finally...after days of this stupidity finally realize this is not a jury, its a court of public opinion.

Congrats.

Why would I?

For him only if he takes the stand. Code of Evidence 609.1.

Otherwise it’s inadmissible under Rule 404.

No. Its what plenty of defense lawyers have argued and with success to get BAC results thrown out.

Gonna be more difficult in a rape case than a DUI case, after the Defendents own words..

Does blood loss affect BAC?

---

No it would not.

In conclusion, this literature review indicates that trauma and massive blood loss exert insignificant effects on a person's BAC and rate of ethanol metabolism.

---

The defense is going to also try to poke holes in BAC based on the timeline. 1) when was her last drink, 2) the timing of the sex & 3) the time of the blood draw.

The sex/rape happened almost immediately after they left the bar. It is possible she was drinking late in the night and the defense would argue that while her BAC was .319 at the hospital it would have been lower at 2pm.

I saw Reggie’s claim she didn’t drink for the last hour but it’s hard to believe them as they are in CYA mode.

They came out strong on that. I wondered how they could be so sure. You’d have to have tape on her at all times.
