Both drivers served time for negligent homicide. Their actions - drunk or not - cost 5 innocent people their lives.

what a fool
you shoot at people often? I don't.
Will I pass someone in my vehicle,all the time. Have you ever?
And while you are doing so, someone clips you sending your car spinning out of control.....

I'm starting to question whether you actually read the article. What part of:
quote:
Witnesses testified at the separate criminal trials of Leger and Hall, and at this week's civil trial, that Leger and Hall were engaged in a high-speed and reckless game of "cat and mouse," or road rage, on westbound I-10 when Leger lost control of his pickup and shot across the grassy median before slamming into Effie Fontenot's car on eastbound I-10. The car burst into flames.
...are you missing?

no relation, and that's exacty what happned.
Did he pass on the shoulder....yeah..but that alone isn't the issue. It's when he was getting back into the lane that either he cut too early, or the other angry driver surged to cut him off and hit him.
Innocent until proven guilty right? Who made contact?
Did he cause his vehicle to spin out of control or did the other driver cause it to occur?

gotta go,but read the stories from 2011. i saw it when i was looking for the type of car.
He passed on shoulder....a-hole!(deservers to die if he did that to me)
But if I did that Cop Pit manuver on him and spun him out...who is responsible for those people's deaths?

They both went to jail for negligent homicide. The innocent until proven guilty aspect is over.

Those sentences were far too light. Had they been firing guns and killed five people they would have gotten lengthy jail time.

Morvant said he is of the opinion that Hall initiated the cat-and-mouse play on I-10 West and that both she and Leger escalated their dangerous driving.
They are both found to be at fault. I believe Hall actually fled the scene if I'm not mistaken. Maybe someone can provide insight into that.

This was a civil trial. Both were previously found guilty of vehicular/negligent homicide. This trial was about assessing civil liability, to which Judge Morvant gave each 50%.

Each side's accident reconstruction expert blamed the other. Witnesses say they were both taking part in a cat-and-mouse type road rage situation. Based on the (very) limited information given to us by the article, I'd say Morvant was fair in his ruling them equally liable.

They each blamed each other and witnesses stated they were engaged in road rage back and forth. The fact that 5 people were killed is awful. The fact that their irresponsible and despicable behavior killed those 5 people makes them culpable. Kids or seniors, it doesn't matter.

That's what raised my eyebrow about Marionneaux taking this one to trial.
Marionneaux is no fool and he doesn't work for free so we can assume there's money there.
Also, 8 years prison for FIVE counts of vehicular homicide is pretty lenient. Maybe since it's now a crime of violence that's the sentence range we'll see more of.

It said he's still in prison for veh homicide, she did a year for negligent homicide.

Wow. Your posts are just so...it's hard to describe the level of your thinking. It's beyond words.

There is some money to be gotten. Leger had been an engineer that worked all over the world in oil and gas. Also, he did not spend a lot of money.
This case was crazy. Trudy White acted very improper, and she was reused from the Leger's criminal trial. Also, I think he initially got a mistrial after Boren took over.

You're right. It isn't fair they had to die like that simply b/c two pricks decided to drive like negligent assholes.

Is there "bad faith" available in Louisiana in this situation? Maybe the bodily injury carriers failed to timely tender their limits since both were blaming each other and now they are each on the hook for 50% of the award. The article says experts for each defendant testified against each other.
Or maybe they had a stipulated damage agreement or a high low agreement before trial and wanted to see what the fact finder would assign for liability percentages.

The OP forgot to mention this part.
So the driver is serving eight years for this. Why do you care whether he wants to admit fault at a civil judgement?

He was convicted in 2014 on five counts of vehicular homicide and sentenced in September.

Remind us where you went to law school again?
Not only is it clear you never attended law school, but I doubt you have a college degree. But please try to lecture us on torts. I'm sure your GED makes you a qualified expert.
