Because I replied to a comment about the lighting in an area I’m very familiar with?

That is a good point. They likely were told they were the last to see her alive and Washington is quoted as having said that. So they thought it was just about her death and had no clue about rape charges until - in Washington's case - they asked for DNA sample and then he shut up fast.

The 4 may have sent text messages back and forth incriminating themselves further.

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.


You can argue all you want that the driver should have done this or that to avoid hitting her, and you can have a valid point with it, but regardless of that he will always be 100% not at fault for hitting a human being in his lane on a highway where it's illegal to walk across. That's how the law works.

at 3am? that is pretty much the darkest part of burbank except when you pass Staring and get closer to Siegen/Highland. Also some people don't see as well at night or have bright headlights. Was it a moon lit night/cloudy etc.

Drivers are required to take reasonable means in avoiding an accident. If a car stalls in the highway, you aren't allowed to just plow into it b/c it's in your way.

I don't think we have any idea, what actually happenned. The Uber driver may have been driving the speed limit and had their hands at 10 & 2 and eyes locked on the road when she jumped out in front of him. It's also possible that they were speeding and/or messing with a phone accepting another job. We don't know. And unless there is a dashcam and/or rider in the Uber, we probably will never know. I'm guessing this stuff will play out in a civil case at some point.

Not sure why we’re arguing about the Uber driver who’s been cleared of wrongdoing (up to this point) in a thread about the 4 who raped her. It’s the epitome of not relevant to the discussion.

Tell Velma to go start a separate thread.

Do 17 & 18-year-olds "text" each other? Or is everything thru Snapchat so it isn't saved? A co-worker always says that she snaps her kids b/c they will respond faster than texting.

You seem more concerned with pinning this on some working schmuck than anything else.

A car stalled anywhere is more probable than looking for a single person walking in the road @ 3am.

It would be messed up if her family sues the Uber driver. I realize they are hurting and have a huge loss but IMO if anyone has a lawsuit it would be the Uber driver for damages to their car for a wreck that isn't their fault...not that they should sue though.

The person in the middle of the street in doing the unlawful act granted you are not impaired by alcohol or drugs.

No, because you don't seem to understand that rain mixed with an automobile on a stretch that is 50+ MPH where you would never expect a woman with a BAC of .319 to be on could lead to an accident & fatality. Seriously, are you really trying to blame the driver?

Are you fricking retarded? How would any of my comments point to me blaming the driver?

This case has caused some of you to lose your fricking minds.
