You're losing me on the fixation with the Uber driver.

If driving with low beams (which shine about 200 ft in front of you), he would have had less than 3s @ 55 MPH. That's not a lot of time to discern 'is that something's in the road.' In a best case scenario she could've moved in front of reflectors or the white line which a driver can pick up on an object. Otherwise, it's really hard to pick out a silhouette against the whatever backdrop lies ahead.

It's a 'felony murder' if the death happened as part of the felony (rape). Argument it did: they dropped her off here to avoid cameras and a well-lit place. They didn't call 911, bring her to hospital, even bring her to a gas station (would have cameras).

The rape would have to be part of the res gestae. Don’t see it, personally.

Even with a very large margin for error well below the .319 BAC as you can see beginning at .099 you have, Reduced judgment and self-control. Impaired reasoning and memory.

Can`t see any way the defense can claim she was able to legally consent. The only thing they can pray for is an ignorant and or bias jury.


BAC Level Generalized Dose Specific Effects
0.020-0.039% No loss of coordination, slight euphoria, and loss of shyness. Relaxation, but depressant effects are not apparent.
0.040-0.059% Feeling of well-being, relaxation, lower inhibitions, and sensation of warmth. Euphoria. Some minor impairment of judgment and memory, lowering of caution.
0.06-0.099% Slight impairment of balance, speech, vision, reaction time, and hearing. Euphoria. Reduced judgment and self-control. Impaired reasoning and memory.
0.100-0.129% Significant impairment of motor coordination and loss of good judgment. Speech may be slurred; balance, peripheral vision, reaction time, and hearing will be impaired.
0.130-0.159% Gross motor impairment and lack of physical control. Blurred vision and major loss of balance. Euphoria is reducing and beginning dysphoria (a state of feeling unwell)
0.160-0.199% Dysphoria predominates, nausea may appear. The drinker has the appearance of a sloppy drunk.
0.200-0.249% Needs assistance in walking; total mental confusion. Dysphoria with nausea and vomiting; possible blackout.
0.250-0.399% Alcohol poisoning. Loss of consciousness.
0.40% + Onset of coma, possible death due to respiratory arrest.

Yes sir, and that`s a good point. The prosecutors and experts will need to explain in layman’s terms that a person can actually function with their limbs and motor skills somewhat but their mind isn`t functioning well enough to make a decision such as consent or anything else for that matter.

But it could also be assumed that Grand Theft Auto and every other violent video game has a similar desensitizing effect on young minds.

People push back so hard on this claim, and I've never understood why. It's always "muh studies," which they've never actually read. Nor do they know who paid for some clown with a PhD to make those supposed studies. We've just leaped to this "everything's OK" conclusion without good reason, and if you follow the money you'll probably find some gun grabber orchestrating it.

If she was in stiletto heels, the defense will argue she could not possibly have made the “jog” in a very drunken state.

You can most definitely run in heels while drunk. Don't ask me how I know...

My point is that many juries would disregard the .319 given any basis to do so if their eyes see her running in heels.

The average person isn't very bright, so I agree.
