Do you think both the prosecution and defense are saving all the social media comments made, especially on FB where they have names attached, for jury selection?

Be an easy way to strike a potential juror if they posted on FB 'fry 'em' or the opposite.

I don't see how that would become public knowledge if there's no criminal liability unless it was voluntarily given by the driver or the app.



If its determined that he was driving in excess of 15 mph over the speed limit that resulted in a hit and death of a person, you don't think he'd be ticketed with a careless operation or something? I'm not super familiar with how this process works but its a very serious investigation and obvious result.

Many Uber drivers have forward/backward cameras inside the car in case there is an accident. I've ridden with several with that. So that's a possibility.

May have been other drivers in the area at the time of accident who saw it happen.

May be cameras in the area. It should be better lit and have cameras all down Burbank. Parking all down that road for gameday.

Was an uber driver distracted while driving? Pretty important detail.


it really is not. hitting her on that stretch of burbank is akin to hitting a deer on the side of the road. That would be a strange place to see someone walking at 3PM, much less at 3am.

the driver did everything right after hitting her.

Was he going over the speed limit? more than likely, everyone speeds down Burbank

Was he day dreaming about not driving uber? who knows.

If you are going to go on about his speed, you also have to consider what being that drunk does to your body. Alcohol makes your blood thinner. If you ever cut yourself while drunk or drank when you already had stitches, you might have noticed that blood was everywhere.

Wasn’t it raining, also? I’m 99% sure it was raining. 3 am. Raining. Could easily have been in between wipes of the rain limiting visibility. NO ONE expects there to be a human in the middle of the road, nor is paying attention for the possibility of a human in the middle of Burbank VERY FAR FROM AN INTERSECTION at 3 am. Lots of blame to go around for lots of f’ed up things. The Uber driver deserves zero.

hit the brakes and still hit a human in the road with enough force to kill her.

Have you looked for the skid marks? Were the brakes slammed on?

It really isn't. It's not your fault when you run over a human, who's on a roadway it's illegal for them to be on. You hit them on the shoulder, then sure, but when you hit someone who's in your lane, it really doesn't matter how fast you were going, or what you were doing, it's not your fault, and trying to make this argument for these given situations is just dumb. 4 lane hwy, 55mph, dark, middle of the night, poor lighting.


There's no need to further punish the person that hit her. He will live with regret the rest of his life for something he had very little control over, and 100% wasn't his fault.

Those are the kinds of responses you’re going to get. Stupid responses for stupid questions. Nothing will happen to the Uber driver, nothing.

I think he already would have been by now.

He waived his right to an attorney per the affidavit. Pure speculation on my part but my guess is he was told he was just there to help the investigators figure out what happened since they were the last to see her alive. The investigators aren't going to be upfront b/c you'd lawyer up if they were. Their objective, in many cases, is to trick you into revealing things you feel are insignificant but are actually relevant. I doubt he had any inkling that he was there to answer questions about rape. If you notice the affidavit doesn't quote him much. It says he "admitted" to most things in there. In other words, it doesn't read like he went there and wrote up a full statement. The only quotes from him are things like "drunk", "hated it", "I guess" and "we got to stop this, let's go". I will probably never hear the audio from that interview, but I'm guessing it's a lot different than most here believe it is.

My grandpa and myself got Tboned at an intersection where he had a stop sign and the other road did not. The speed limit was 25. He stopped, and went through the intersection not realizing how fast the other car was going. They were easily going over 50mph, and hit us in the side rear, and i'm pretty sure they sped up to hit us. My grandpa was at fault for running a stop sign, despite plenty of evidence to support they were going well over 25 considering their car was completely destroyed and the airbags were deployed, and they spun us completely around twice. None of that happens when you are going 25mph.

100%

None of them should have spoken. They may have still been drunk at that time.

I think they are guilty and all. I am just saying.

He'll be sued and they'll settle. Your driving you should be looking straight ahead. People drunk at 3 a.m. in a college town? It happens. Even if he's 20% at fault that's a few hundred grand. That's how Louisiana works.

Beautiful 19 year old run down in the roadway. No insurance company wants to go to court against that case. They'd settle.

Carver had no lawyer and he should have shut up.

Watch FIRST 48 a few dozen times.

They are told their rights but then TALK TALK TALK. To get it off their chest, justify themselves, whatever. Talk their way into prison.

Look at the shooting of the NFL player in the New Orleans area. Road rage argument. Guy who shot him went to talk to police to explain himself. He explained himself into prison.

It was the middle of the night in a low-lit area.

For the record, I drive this stretch of Burbank back and forth everyday, day and night. It’s not nearly as dark as people are making it out to be. I couldn’t imagine not seeing a person standing in the road unless it was raining or something & I believe I read somewhere it was raining.
