re: Deputies arrest 4 in LSU student Madison Brooks case

Judge Holden gave a pretty good explanation how the death must come in. The BAC was done at the hospital and her wandering into the street shows Madison's lack of capacity ("stupor").

Judge will say, "The fact that someone died doesn't mean you must find the defendants guilty."

See how that goes over. They set the path that night of all that followed.

To that I say:

1. She worked at the damn place. They didn't know how old she was? The girl behind the bar was a sorority sister and knew her personally.

2. She drank random drinks. They had video cameras and security footage. She was .319 BAC at time of death and likely higher than that at the bar. They served a drunk person and let a drunk person get drunker.

No liability?

If it went to a jury, they'd pay. Bigly.

They also served the teens that raped her but that's more for the loss of liquor license hearing I suppose.

In reference to the appearance of Madison stumbling in the video leaving Reggies. I think this may actually be due to some gnarly tree roots. Check out the google street view. Zoom in to the tree roots to the left of that tree. This appears to be where she stumbled.

Obviously I'm Pro-Madison, but I don't think the "stumbling" in the video is going to have legs. Pardon the pun.

Subsequent death is not an element or a factor in third degree rape. The crime is complete when the assault begins.

As a matter of proof of an element of the crime, the manner in which she died here is absolutely relevant to whether she was capable of consent minutes before.

I don’t want to dox you, but who are you? You’ve said you are a part time reporter. You have to be in your eighties to attend as many home football games as you said you have.

This case interests me because I like to untangle factual and legal problems. I’m also a severe insomniac, so I’ve got a lot of extra time to read and think. What’s your game here?

YOu don't want to dox me but 'who are you'? Hmm.

My only 'game' is justice for Madison. This is an internationally covered event that will only get more attention as trial approaches.

We've seen experts in chemistry, toxicology, law, etc. and learning if a lifelong journey.

Madison's family has set a caring path forward with a foundation and making young people aware of the risks of binge drinking, lack of buddy system, or taking advantage of a highly intoxicated female. They've also shown the benefits of organ donation in midst of tragedy. God be with them.

Good catch.


From there do we have any idea the path the group traveled? We know they wound up in Pelican Lakes. Were the 3 addresses (?)/locations Madison gave them all there? Were they driving around?

If the rapes were completed by 2:20 and police called 2:50. She had to walk in the neighborhood a bit then to Burbank - 15 minutes. So they went to three addresses in 15 minutes?

It'd take 10 to drive from location of rapes to Pelican Lakes.

Just trying to do the "she drove them to three locations" timelines as it is not adding up - unless it was three random houses in Pelican Lakes.

Did she say a mother of a sorority sister lived in Pelican Lakes? She's sold them she's in a sorority and likely knew which one. Why not take her there?

I live close to this area. Pass on Burbank on my way to work. If leaving Reggie’s and looking for place to park for sec, you would not want to go toward the back of Tiger land. That is not a safe area. Nicholson is well lit but right across Nicholson just where those houses line Jennifer Jean it’s not well lit at all until you get to Burbank.

Sorry, that's stupid. Reggie's didn't rape her. You may as well sue her sorority sisters/friends for allowing her to leave with those guys. It makes as much sense.

Here are some guys ready to sue:

Many victims involved in alcohol-related accidents in New Orleans don’t realize they may have the right to file a claim against more than just the drunken person. The “dram shop,” or establishment that furnished the intoxicated individual with alcohol, could share liability for negligently permitting the person to cause the harm. Louisiana’s dram shop statute is more limited than in most other states, but injured victims might still be able to hold a dram shop liable in two situations.

You are thinking the same way I was about 50 pages back. I think they drove her around for 5-10 minutes and then got rid of her. That has terrible optics so defense used Nakamoto to plant seed of this “took her to 3 locations” as that sounds a lot better than 5 minutes. The locations have to be very close to each other.
