Judge asked to revoke Lamborghini driver's bond after he contacts victim's family

This guy sees jail looking at him and he is getting worried.
quote:
Prosecutors asked a judge on Monday (April 23) to revoke the bond of Jason Adams, the Lamborghini driver who crashed into a flood wall off Tchoupitoulas Street in 2016 and killed his passenger, after he recently contacted the victim's family.
Assistant District Attorney David Pipes said Adams recently sent a text message to Kristi Lirette's father. The text message was not read in court. Pipes asked Criminal District Judge Robin Pittman to send Adams to jail ahead of his May 8 trial date.
quote:
Pittman did not revoke Adams' $75,000 bond because she said she had no legal basis to do so. But the judge had strong words for the defendant, calling his decision to contact Lirette's dad "stupid" and "ridiculous."
"I absolutely want to throw you in jail," she said. "This was a very stupid decision on your part."
quote:
Adams' attorney, David Courcelle, said at the hearing to revoke his bond Monday that this is an "emotional case." He pointed out there was no stay away order in place preventing Adams from contacting Lirette's family.
Pittman said that should have been ordered when he was arrested, and put one in place at the hearing Monday.
quote:
Now that these orders are in place, Pittman said she will have the means to put Adams in jail should he contact Lirette's family or should he fail to get the interlocking device installed in his car.
"This is really ridiculous," she said.

No. What is ridiculous is that the DA's office didn't put those orders into the original bond agreement. They should always do that in a case with a victim, especially for the family of a deceased victim.
That being said, I would be curious to know the content of the text. If it was a genuine apology for the loss of his daughter, that is one thing. If it was a threat or some attempt to lessen his culpability or sway the testimony of the father, then off with his head.

How stupid is the DA and judge presiding over this case for something like this to slip by.

In defense of the judge, the bond was probably set by a magistrate. Now, it is absolutely ridiculous the DA's office did not ask for this.

It's actually quite irrational. Say you get in a wreck and a family member dies... if the victim is a passenger a prior existing relationship of some nature is presumed.

They should have released the text

That is such a douchey car

What a terrible situation/story. Really puts things in perspective.

Based on the tone of the judge I’m guessing it wasn’t an apology. Which makes it incredibly idiotic.

If its relevant, you can bet it will be admitted at trial or at least they will try and get it admitted.

He was friends with a scummy plastic surgeon.
The lambo was the scummy plastic surgeon's.

I'm going to need more pics of the blond in the 2nd pic before I can pass any judgement here.

Let the victims father shoot him

I knew this girl for a few years - she was very nice and always cheerful. Had kind of forgotten about this but awhile back I went to Nola and her profile popped up on Bumble. I guess no one deactivated it after she passed. Sad story and the guy is a POS.

I know her father Brett. Terrible tragedy. He's an awesome guy and has taken this way better than I could have.

My son went to school with her. Such a shame. Count on this text being admitted as evidence in the trial.

I remember this story, but forgot the details. Why did he run into the flood walls? Was he drunk? Either way, it is sad and from what the judge said, it doesn't seem like his text to the father was a welcoming text.
The guy has been dealing with the loss of his daughter and I am sure having this jackass contact him, with likely some bullshite, probably doesn't make things easier.
