Just so you know, this is a BIG difference. Vehicular homicide is much more punitive than negligent homicide.
That's fricking stupid.

So in your mind, someone killing someone by accident is the same as someone killing someone intentionally or under the influence?

Main difference is this dude was on drugs and didn’t leave the scene.
That’s a pretty big difference from a legal perspective. I hate it but Lacy might be able to plead down and get little to no jail time.
If so, I hope the family gets a good civil suit payout if he makes it to the NFL

Thoughts on this posted on the rant:

He’s not getting any prison time. Despite the scary sounding charges it’s hardly like he’s facing 1st degree murder charges. It’s a non-contact hit and run. So firstly, the Prosecution is going to have to prove he was driving, then prove he caused the crash. Tall orders considering he himself didn’t crash. No charge of DUI either. This is hardly the slam dunk of a case. A lot of people are drawing similarities to Henry Ruggs — Ruggs was going 156 and intoxicated. And crashed. None of that is what happened with Lacy.

for causing a nearly identical accident
Not it's not. Lacy was involved in the accident but accused of causing an accident and not stopping. This "nearly identical" accident is not the same at all. Dude crashed into another car head on and killed the guy.

What good does him being in jail really do?
He's got obvious skill. Make him use it and benefit others. If they don't want the money they can donate it to charity.
Hell, let them pick the house he lives in and what he wears. Basically let the family sentence him.

How do you cause an accident by passing cars, but then have to drive around the crash scene?
Could it be, Lacy (Veh 1) traveling south is passing several cars in the wrong lane of travel.
Prior to Veh 1 completing the pass of all cars, Veh 2 traveling north sees Lacy in his lane of travel and rather than stay in their lane, takes evasive action and exits the roadway to the right,
Veh 3 traveling north following Veh 2 notices the sudden departure of Veh 2 to the right shoulder and immediately faces Lacy in their lane of travel. Sudden shock and immediate reaction was to turn into the southbound lane of travel and into the path of Veh 4
Veh 4 traveling south in the southbound lane strikes Veh 3.
The crash takes place in front of Veh 1 before he ever completes the pass of ALL the vehicles. Veh 1 then drives around the crash site and speeds away southbound.
Also, why did the other driver turn INTO oncoming traffic, instead of the shoulder?
It was a split second decision.

Max penalty for negligent homicide is 5 years. He’ll get 2 years and 5 years probation.

He fled the scene, dude.

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - A judge sentenced Walter Andrew Brister IV, the son of a former NFL player “Bubby” Brister in connection to the hit-and-run crash that killed a man walking on Ben Hur Road near LSU back in 2022.
Judge William Jorden sentenced Brister to three years of probation to include 250 hours of community service.
And he actually ran the dude over and left

Lacy won't go to jail, but he'll have a huge civil case go against him. And I doubt the NFL gives him a real shot, not like he was super high up draft boards in the first place due to him being born without hands.

Lacey won't see a day of prison.

frick this
Once he gets an NFL check he'll be getting a lawyer to argue he should keep tons of it to maintain a lifestyle, afford the necessary things to keep himself in the NFL etc etc etc, and that family will pretty soon be getting nothing while this guy lives a great life.
Prison.
Long time.

A buddy I went to high school with fell asleep at the wheel driving home from work one night, went into another lane and hit a guy head on and killed the man. Got 20 years in jail. Been in there about 10 years now.
A relative of a guy that works with us was on drugs, crashed into someone and killed a guy and his little kid. Got zero jail time.
There's no telling what Lacy is going to get. The LA judicial system is so in consistent and jacked up.

They are two different crimes of similar magnitude, in my opinion. I think we've kind of overcompensated as a society and lost sight of the fact that there are terrible crimes other than DWI, and, conversely, that a clean blood sample doesn't excuse these crimes.
Why do the results of a chemical test even matter after some terrible wreck? If an errant driver takes out an entire school bus, I do not give two shits whether he was drunk, high, racing, or just messing around on his phone and hoping for the best. There's no result or explanation that will make me say, "oh, that sounds like a pretty good excuse."
I am not necessarily saying the penalty for alcohol-involved vehicular homicide needs to be less severe. It's also possible that the penalty for negligent homicide needs to be more severe. There are states where it can be charged as a misdemeanor. In many of those states, a victimless DUI can easily be a felony.

That guy, if completely sober, had horrific lawyers. That's insane.

So If a someone pulls out in front of someone because they thought they checked but didn't see an oncoming bus and caused an accident it’s the exact same as someone going to a bar and getting hammered and driving drunk and causing the oncoming bus to get into an accident.
Because those are not the same.
Accidents happen.

There are true accidents in this world made by well-intentioned, responsible, good people. I'm not saying things should go unpunished, but there is a shite load of nuance to every situation that should be taken into account when prescribing punishment.
Note: I am not talking about Lacy, just saying in general.
